Tonight's gift:
Our mystery reader was Grandma. She brought with her a new Christmas story.
But because she is amazing, she started out by telling us the story of Daddy's birth and the box of special items she keeps from his birth. The kids soon understood why she chose to show us these things.
A blanket made by some special friends.
And some pictures were among the fun pieces we got to see.
Next Grandma read us the story.
All about the treasure box Mary kept from Jesus's birth.
It is a very sweet retelling of the story through Mary's eyes.
I highly recommend adding it to your Christmas collection. 
The idea of a 'mystery reader' was a new one for our 24 gifts tradition.
Its definitely a keeper!
The kids also enjoyed sharing Rice Krispie treats with Grandma before she left. :)
