This year we are trying to focus more on the real reason for the season, so we be having a happy birthday Jesus cake on Christmas day.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445335657900834577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699883591065801233.post-4651312565092506882010-12-01T15:05:04.968-05:002010-12-01T15:05:04.968-05:00You may remember the "book on the bed" f...You may remember the "book on the bed" for Christmas. When the girls were younger we wrapped a book and put it on the end of the bed for them to find when they first woke up. It gives them time before all the other events and visiting of the day to really enjoy the book. We even started it with Joseph by putting an unwrapped board book in his crib last year when he was 1 1/2! Emily told us she woke up at 2 a.m. last year kicked the book and opened it up and started reading. (She did go back to sleep a bit later!) They get very excited each year to see what the "book of the year" is!Dawn Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18344224987923193205noreply@blogger.com
