Creating ’till Christmas!

Here’s our Advent calendar: Christmas’ Books!!! This idea is all around the web and Pinterest, for sure; and the thing is that I LOVE IT!

Pinky is crazy about books (ok, DNA is strong…..both mommy and daddy LOVE books) and I now she will get more than happy to find a new one each day and, the best part, unwrap it.

So, here’s our list, just some books we have already and other we got at the library, which has a HUGE selections of great books and for FREE (the great part is that we can borrow them for 3 weeks, so I added them to the list before their due date). I plan to have a little craft or activity for each book…OK, I will TRY my best!!
