More Favorites

My "Favorite's" would not be complete without my favorite Christmas books. At our house we have a tradition of getting a new Christmas book, for each one of our girls, each year. This is definitely and obsession for me. I read Christmas book after Christmas book looking for the perfect one for Matayia and Kaitlyn. So I do have a few favorites. Right now we are still into Santa, Reindeer, Magical books but as my kids grow older I hope to move into more Christ centered book. But my new favorite book for this year is......



If you haven't seen this book yet I think it is a must have for small children. I came upon it a month or two ago at a craft boutique. For those of you who are not familiar with Usbourne books (I love Usbourne books) they are sold at "in home parties" but I have seen this book at Amazon.com and I know Deseret Book does sell Usbourne Books. (I don't know if they have this one) The book is an advent calender, Each day you add a piece to your nativity from the book, By Christmas you will have a complete Nativity set, I wondered if they would really stand up so I punched some out and tried it out. It worked so well and is really really cute. I decided to not give this book to either of my girls for Christmas but keep it for the whole family to enjoy. I can't wait until December 1st to start setting up our advent nativity.


Some of our other favorites are.....



Who can resist this Christmas Classic, Matayia could listen to it every night!!



This is a "lift the flap" version of the nativity story. (Usbourne again!!)



We love the illustrations in this book, The story is really cute but the pictures are even better.



I just couldn't leave this one off my list of favorites. Maybe it's not the most popular Christmas book, but it is one of my childhood favorites. I have bought both Matayia and Kaitlyn this book. I think the pictures are beautiful and I still enjoy looking at it every year.
