Newest Christmas Tradition

As we have officially became a family of 3 just in time for Cooper's first Christmas we wanted to start our first Christmas tradition. At the beginning of the Christmas season Josh and I pick out a Christmas book and wrap it up to be opened and read on the first Monday of December. Each book has a lesson or theme to the story that we plan to remember throughout the 'hustle and bustle' of the holiday season. I hope as the years pass our children will look forward to going back and reading all of the Christmas books that have been collected over the years. The book we chose this year is titled 'Christmas From Heaven' the story of the Berlin candy bomber. It was so fun to read it with Cooper (even though he was asleep). The message of this story is, "From little things come big things." No matter how small the gift, give whatever you have. I love those simple words especially for us at this time in our lives.
