Update: Finding children's book of the Nativity

With all festivities and the fullness of the days leading up to the Christmas and New Year holidays behind us,life is getting back to normal. So I wanted to write an update about the Nativity book that James now has in his possession. My blog entry entitled Passion for Christmas listed some of the books I was considering to buy and they all came from great mommies too. I kept putting it off for one reason or another and a wonderful thing happened. Right before Christmas, James and I had gone shopping with my Mom and we stopped by the Hallmark store. I LOVE the Hallmark store. She had been looking for something special to give her two grandsons on Christmas Eve and there sitting in the front of the store was a recordable story book called the "The Very First Christmas". I encouraged her to get it. I told her that James doesn't have that book and I had been looking all over for one and I thought it would be great for her to tell him the story. It is so sweet! My mom was able to record a message to James before she began recording herself reading the story. It plays "Silent Night" between the pages and the best part was that Chris and I laid down with James at bedtime on Christmas Eve and listened to my Mom read the story to James. He was quite enthralled with it and it was a wonderful way to end a day full of anticipation of what Christmas morning would bring.
