Staring out the car window at the road flashing by, a young girl explains to her new baby brother what happens When You Visit Grandma and Grandpa: you get to play hide and seek with Grandma in the summer and carve pumpkins with her in the fall. Pausing to ask, "Are we there yet?" one more time, she continues: in the winter, you get to build snow forts with Grandpa and watch his magic tricks during spring rains.

Waiting for Christmas sure can be hard! But Anna helps out her new baby brother by telling him all of the signs that Christmas is coming—like making frost on a window, decorating with lights, and picking out the most perfect tree. She also shows her brother how to make the time pass faster by making cookies and presents for family and friends. When the big day finally arrives, Anna races downstairs to count all of the presents under the tree. But suddenly she realizes what the very best Christmas present of all really is. And it isn’t something that’s under the tree. . .
