Naomi's First Christmas-2010

Jack Frost Nipping At My Nose

Every year my parents would give us each a book with a small inscription in it. I treasure those books and they sit on my bookshelf today. Dustin and I thought it was important to continue this tradition with Naomi. I was having a hard time finding a book that I felt captured Naomi's personality. After some significant searching, I remembered the book Snowmen At Night.

 

Snowmen At Night is a great book that captures the imagination. Have you ever wondered what that snowman you made earlier in the day does at night? This wintertime mystery is explained in a magical way that I know Naomi will love. The inscription Dustin wrote reads:

Naomi-Your mother and I gave you this book for your first Christmas. You were only six months old, a smiling, laughing little baby. Even though you were just a babe, I read to you every night in my arms.  Tales of caterpillars, farm animals, pajama time and much more. I will read to you for many years to come. I hope you enjoy this story of what snowmen do at night. I love you with all of my heart.
Love, Mom and Dad
