14,000+ pages

Well the kids did it again.
Our yearly Christmas reading challenge began the last few days of November.
Last year they read over 9,000 pages during the month so I challenged them to read 10,000 this year. No, they upped the number to 12,000. Now they wanted to know what the "prize" would be if they achieved their goal. I told them a large family brownie sundae.
With that important bit of information clearly defined they were off....
Ryan found another book series with several books that had 700 or more pages in each one that he liked to read. Of course, they had to do with dragons, his latest obsession.
Connor's favorite was 'The Mysterious Benedict Society' series, along with some of Rick Riordan books.
Cailin read many books, among others she re-read the Warrior series once again. She loves those books.
Delaney and Liam enjoyed read aloud with us. Delaney's favorite is still Junie B. Jones.

Barry says next year the goal should be 25,000 pages.....yeah I'm not so sure about that one, but they keep surprising me--they may just make it happen!
