It’s Christmas Eve over here and we’ve opened The Very Last Advent book - appropriately ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Baby is now the happy owner of 25 new books, a whole new library that has cumulatively been THE BEST GIFT EVER. We’ve loved opening some classics and learning about some children’s books we didn’t know about before.

We will remember this forever and are so, so grateful for the amazing group of people who made this happen! A special thanks to Susan and Sarah who spearheaded the organization of it!

Seeing so many of our friends come together to gift us something so huge has been incredibly meaningful and special and we hope to pay it forward in the years to come.

So here’s for a season of giving and loving. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

xo.

I’m all about the traditions - small things to look forward to and make all the moments a little extra special. Some people in my life make fun of me for this, but I own it all the same. We’re extra excited to celebrate Christmas with our little this year - including him in some of our old traditions (like going to chop doing a tree!) and creating some new ones too. Basically - no pressure, kid - but we’re expecting this Christmas to be more full of joy and laughs than ever before.

And the party is starting early because this year we’ve received THE MOST AMAZING GIFT (after our son himself, of course). Some of our friends collaborated to compile an “Advent of Books” for Bèbè. What?! Yes, you read that correctly, they coordinated, conspired, and compiled a collection of books so he can open one every day from now, December 1, through Christmas Eve.

We are BLOWN AWAY at this incredible and thoughtful experience for him.

This sweet gift will literally double his collection of stories and since we read him books all day long, we will all treasure this offering for years to come.

Today was our Book Advent Day #1 and it set the bar high. I texted my friend after we read it (twice) and asked her if it’s normal for this book to make one cry.
