Day Seven
Merry Christmas Mom and Dad

I love Mercer Mayer books! I promise this one will bring a smile to your face.
Each beautifully illustrated page adds so much to the story. Here are a few excerpts:
I wanted to decorate some Christmas cookies just for you, but I couldn't stop tasting them.
I wanted to carry the Christmas balls just for you, but the box was upside down.
On Christmas Eve I tried to go right to sleep just for you, but I was too excited.
I didn't want to make you get up too early on Christmas morning...so I brought my toys upstairs to show you.
Have fun reading this one to your child. Picture Books aren't just for kids.

This one sounds adorable. I've seen it around a lot, but I don't think we have it. Now I'm going to have to go check and see which ones we have. :)
