Twas the Night Before Christmas

And Jacob was reading to the kids before bed. We're very fortunate that both of our kids love books and stories. They got a new book from Grandma & Grandpa Skousen this year with the story of the birth of Jesus set to the song, "O Little Town of Bethlehem," which they loved. Then we read our traditional "Twas the Night Before Christmas." Last year I bought the version illustrated by Mary Engelbreit. It's so beautiful and the kids love all the details she's drawn in. After their stories, the kids went right to bed but Jackson made it clear he did NOT want Santa in his room that night, but he could leave presents if he wanted to.
