Sledding Day rescheduled

After looking at several popular sledding hills yesterday, I feel it would be best if we reschedule our Doodlebugs Sledding Day. I will look towards January after a good snowfall. I am sorry for this change in plans. I know our families were really looking forward to this fun event. Thank you for your understanding.

December Book Nook

This month there are several books that I just had to include in our Book Nook. Each story is unique and full of heart. I must warn you, some are tear jerkers. Have a tissue close at hand and enjoy these picks!

This first book is titled The Broken Ornament by, Tony Diterlizzi. This is a story about a little boy that wanted the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER! After a special ornament was broken, he learns that what would make the perfect Christmas wasn't what he thought. I heart warming story about family and the moments we share. 

The next book is titled Night Tree by, Eve Bunting. This story tells of a family that has a very special Christmas Eve tradition of decorating their tree. Told from a child's perspective, this is a book that had me questioning how I could start this tradition with my own family. A must read!

In Maple and Willow's Christmas Tree by, Lori Nichols, sisters are so excited that they finally get to have a real tree to decorate for Christmas. When one sister learns that she is allergic to the tree, she is worried that she ruined Christmas. Find out what the other does to create a special tree that her sister can enjoy! A heartwarming story of sisters and the love they share.

The final book that I want to share is When Christmas Feels Like Home by, Gretchen Griffith. This story follows a young boy who feels misplaced after moving to a different country. The only thing that connects him to his home is a box he calls his Christmas box. While waiting the year to open the box, he finds that his new surroundings are beginning to feel more and more like home. 

Happy reading! Let me know which titles you enjoyed this month.
