So instead of doing a countdown chain or envelopes with fun ideas activities I decided to go with books.
We will be doing 25 Books till Christmas.
Yes I know, not as exciting as a chain or cool activities.
It just seems more relaxing and less stressful.
Plus we all need a little more reading in life, so I found some books from the library and our home about Christmas and winter and that is what we will be reading.
I might throw in some activities to go with the book, but I haven't decided. It all depends on how my December goes.
So here are days 1 & 2, since we missed yesterdays book.
Book 1
Snow Pumpkin
This was a cute book, Shelby really liked it.
It is about two friends playing in the snow and make a snowman with a pumpkin head.
Book 2
Frozen Noses
This book was a little crazy to read. It is pretty short though.
It is about friends playing outside on a winter day and then coming inside to warm up.
