6: christmas book advent calendar

This year for our countdown to Christmas we're going to read one Christmas book a night. We have 24 Christmas books wrapped and waiting in a basket.

She's so excited to get started!!

We started our countdown a couple of days late due to Jacob's crazy work schedule last week. The plus-side was that the kids got to open and listen to FIVE books!!

Ben opened the first one

And Lexie caught on right away and opened two!

Lexie didn't enjoy sitting and listening to all of the books as much as the boys did. Instead, she took whatever book Jacob wasn't reading and read it to herself. Her stories were "blah, blah, blah, DOGGY!" every time she saw a reindeer, a donkey, a camel, etc.

Then Lexie ran down the hall with her book and read it in the other room.
