How the Grinch Stole Christmas

by Dr Suess

Clever book for kids. I'm not really a big fan of his, but all the chicklets love his books.

Rhyming, clever writing, and a few laughs here and there. Excellent Christmas time choice.

The Night Before the Night Before Christmas

Very funny book for older school crowd. Kids familiar with the Night before Christmas will get a lot of laughs out of this rhyming tale of getting ready for Christmas.

And the little one will like the pictures. Definite family classic.

The Nanny Diaries

by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus

Hilarious. This book is excellent. A great choice after a taxing tale like Ya-Ya. Light, fun, and very enjoyable.

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

by Rebecca Wells

Ok, I was told I had to read this book. It took me a week. I usually read very fast. But I was turned off by the whole mother-goes-nuts-and-beats-her-four-kids storyline. I got through it, its a good book but certainly not the best I've ever read. And I feel I now that I didn't have to read it, my life would have continued to be complete without it.

I love you through and through

My in-laws got this book for Andrew. So sweet and cute. I love these kinds of books that go from head to toe....

And at the end, she signed it "Love, Grandma and Poppa." Its one I'll keep for him always.
