This year, our book club decided to start a new holiday tradition.Lisa K. picked our December book, which was A Thousand Splendid Suns. The book was very good, and sparked great discussion. She hosted at her house and made the most amazing Indian food. YUM!
Our new tradition was two-fold. First, each person brought one friend or family member to participate in our book club. They all read the book as well, so it was double the fun.
Second, we all picked a book out from our personal collection and wrapped them up to give away. Except of course for Rachel, who thought it was a swap and wrapped up her beloved Matilda book, only to have to ask for it back once she realized it was supposed to be a gift. We played the stealing game, which was really fun. Water For Elephants and the Post Secret book were the two that got stolen the most.
Nate came as my guest, and he said he was pretty jealous of how cool the book club is. He already asked if he could be my guest next year.

Cute picture! Sounds like a great time! Working from home this morning. Gotta get my little baby Jesus ready. Little nervous, he's been super fussy this morning (even for Finn) think he's cutting more teeth. Which book did you end up getting?
Greta, your site is really neat...and your cookies very impressive. I'll help Grandpa get your site going tomorrow. See you soon.
