Stacks of Books on Christmas Morning

by | Mar 7, 2015 | Books, Christmas 2014, Christmas Picture Books, Picture Books, Stacks of Books for Christmas | 6 comments

I realized, while putting together this year’s Baskets of Books for Easter, that I never did share the list of books our children received for Christmas. Since I already had this post almost completed in my drafts folder, I decided to finish it up and share it with you all now. Hmmm… I also need to finish the post with the rest of the boys’ books/bookshelves… and many others!
Anyway, in 2013 I was inspired by Charlotte to give each of our children a “Stack of Books” as one of their Christmas gifts. Our children loved the stacks of books (at least most of them!) and we ended up giving them more this last Christmas! Here are the books they unwrapped: 
.: Captain – Age 14 :.


.: Ranger – Age 13 :. 
(he was still 12 when he received these for Christmas)

.: Twinkle Toes – Age 11 :. 
.: Chiquita – Age 9 :.
.: Snuggles – Age 7 :. 

Ambrose and the Cathedral Dream is currently listed at a great discount! 
.: Rose – Age 5 :. 

.: Bud – Age 3 :.

    Jessica these are such precious faces of very happy children ready for so many adventures as these delightful books take them to so many wonderful places! I admire you for the time you take to choose special books for each of your children. The written word is so much a part of a wonderful childhood. Our three children loved spending time reading books and we have been passing some of their much loved books unto our two adorable grandsons now. Each time I read to my grandsons it takes me back to the special snuggly moments my husband and I read to our own children. I truly do believe that books are the perfect gift for every child as they continue to give joy for many years. God Bless you and your dear family.

    I love this idea! Do you have any tips on how to get so many books on a tight budget? Most of the books I have searched from your blog are older classics (which I love!) but they do come with a higher price tag usually.

    Thanks, Christine! I will have to try and compile and share a little list of some of the ways I save on books. That would be a great topic for a blog post!

    Please tell me where you got those lovely nightgowns! We only gave books for Christmas this year and our kids were so happy. Thanks for all these great ideas. Always looking for more.

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
