Advent and Christmas Story time Treasures....

For as long as I can remember, I have had a love of reading. My sisters and I couldn't sleep if mom or dad hadn't come in and read to us, followed by pleas of "Just ONE more?". 


And Christmastime? Well. It provided for even more snuggle-time and fabulous stories. Stories about angels, trees, and Jesus....


Here are some of my family's favorites. (Just click on the link for more information.):

And finally, no Christmas story-time would be complete without a complete reading of:





This book is full of heart, and reminds us all that Jesus is the perfect gift for everyone...no matter who they are or where they come from. 



SO snuggle up with a wonderful story and create some special memories...

My lovely Christmas cactus in bloom. This makes me happy since it is an off-shoot from my Grandma Krystofik's plant. She passed away on Christmas Day in 1996, and I miss her so. But traditions and family and memories....beautiful.

So I'm thinking that I need to actually strap Max in?! oops.

He was DONE with his breakfast. There is no arguing that.

Oh how this makes growing up seem so... real. While I am excited that Max is reaching milestones, I just cannot believe that he is old enough to drink from a cup with no lid and also feed himself. (I miss my baby already.)
