Our Reading Tree...

We have a reading tree in our home!!  It is full of mini beanies and other critters who enjoy reading books with the boys.  Beside the reading tree is a chair and a basketfull of books.  Normally the basket contains all Dr. Seuss books.  This morning mama got up before the crack of dawn and prepared a little surprise for the kids:)  When they came downstairs with Daddy this morning their little eyes beamed when they saw their reading tree all decked out in christmas lights.  Their basket of books was now full of christmas books!!  Inside this basket were gems entitled The Littlest Angel by Charles Tazewell, The Little Drummer Boy Board Book by Ezra Jack Keats, The Night of Las Posadas (Picture Puffins) & Merry Christmas, Strega Nona (Voyager Books) also by Tomie DePaola, to name just a few!!  After they stood for a few minutes and stared in awe of the pretty lights, Daddy read books to them with his source of light being the reading tree!!  While they read I prepared their favorite breakfast, grapenuts porridge!!  What an awesome morning!!
