Christmas Funnies

Two quick funnies that the boys have said this week...

Our elf came back last Monday to be with us until Christmas. We started "The Elf on the Shelf" last year thinking it would be a fun tradition that the kids would enjoy. Last Monday morning, we actually had to point out to Andrew and Forrest that we had a visitor sitting on the mantel.

Andrew: What is that.... Who is that...? IT'S JACK!!!

I am amazed at what good memories children have! He was so excited! Without us mentioning Jack since last Christmas Andrew remembered him. But he couldn't quite remember all about him. So I read him The Elf on the Shelf book which basically tells of how the elves stay in your house each day and visit Santa at night to tell him if the children have been good or not.

Me: So Andrew, what does Jack do? - (referring to him watching for good behavior)

Andrew: Jump over the candlestick...?

Ha! Too funny and especially with the confused look on his face!

One more cute thing from Forrest...

I was getting him dressed for church this morning, and he asked what he was going to wear. I showed him the red corduroy shirt and pants and told him we were wearing Christmas clothes. He was very cooperative and happy as I got him dressed. When he was dressed and ready, he looked at me with a big grin on his face and said, "I want to go show my friends Christmas Forrest!" :)
