and nana began a new tradition...
she sent us home from her house christmas eve with one more present & instructions to open it just before bed.
that nana is brilliant i tell 'ya! she gave them the classic the night before christmas storybook. not just an ordinary storybook, but one in which she had recorded herself reading it :o) what a fabulous idea!
pailyn quickly recognized a familiar voice & just like any book she got excited :o) see her pointing to something on the page in the photo above? notice that she's making a sound too with that little mouth? i can hear it right now...it's the sound she makes when she points at something...always the same sound, lol...and excied one!
they listed to their new book being read a couple times.
her turn to hold it :o)
she loves a good story!
bennett, while the roo listened to the story some more & tried to eat the book a little was quite concerned with getting santa's snack out & getting to bed :o)
we always have high expectations on baking something homemade, but i make sure there is a back up. santa has enjoyed our fudge and bennett and heather decorated sugar cookies in the past, but he doesn't seem to mind store bought either :o)
