Caleb was more into eating the candy, even with the wrappers still on than reading his new book. The other two, however, were very excited about their new books. We have quite a collection now, almost a basket full that we only have out at Christmas time. So adding some new books was extra special!
The Mouse book is a special treat for the kids. We've been checking out books from the Library this year and often check out other ones by this author. Eventually, we'd like to buy them. They're such cute little stories and the pictures are so great! Our favorite so far is, "If You Give a Moose a Muffin"...a special one for our kids because we often have muffins in our house. : ) Although, not for very long!
Later that day, the kids painted their own Christmas trees. I've been wanting to do some painting with them for awhile now but had to figure out a good location! Our house is carpeted all through except the kitchen, bathrooms and this lovely laundry room! The laundry room it was! A perfect place to be worry free about paint spilling or dripping and easy clean-up with a utility sink right there!

Very artistic, these special little grandchildren of ours!
So fun we always do St Nick day too. I grew up waking up on the 6th to new slippers, oranges, nuts and candy. Do you have the book "Santa are you for real?" by Harold Meyer? My kids got it this year and spent hours making each other gifts in secret and putting them in each others stockings. They forgot that they would get new slippers by their doors from "Santa" that morning!
How fun, Becky! No, we don't have that book, but I keep hearing how great it is, maybe that will be on next year's list! : )
