Our Elf came to the house last night. The kids decided to name him Seminole Angel. I figure that will be abbreviated before too long and mostly they just call him Elf. This morning when they woke up they were shocked to find he had busted out of his box. He got into the laundry room, pulled clothes out and hung their underwear on the Christmas tree. This of course was hilarious. C-dog was very careful as he pulled the underwear off not to touch the Elf as his sister yells "DON'T TOUCH HIM!". She also decided to lecture the elf before she left this morning telling him sternly "we are going to school you need to be good while we are gone". Big C is amazed at what kids fall for. It's definitely given us a good laugh. When I showed them their Elf last night you would've thought Santa just walked in the door, the excitement was so high. C just kept hiding his face and laughing.
This year for Christmas we are giving the kids a trip to Disney. This morning I realized we made a good choice to surprise them with that. C-bug asked me "Do you love Ariel?". Of course I said yes. "Do you like seeing her when you go to Disney?". Again I said yes. "When can we go back and see her again?". Don't you know I took that opportunity to say "I don't know...it costs a lot of money to go. I don't think it will be any time soon". Her brother pipes in with "we've been saving our money" which is actually a jar of change with about $50 in it. I sure wish I was at the age where that is enough to take everyone on vacation. Of course we all used to believe money just grew on tree's and our parents had an endless supply of it. Oh how nice that would be.
24 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!
Love it! They are too cute ;-) Can't wait to see the video of when you tell them you're going to Disney!
