On Christmas Eve, we have a tradition in our family. The "Christmas Elf" brings new jammies and then Lil G listens to "The Night Before Christmas" , as read by dada.
Lil G was so excited to try and catch the Christmas Elf. He even heard the elf giggling as it left the jammies! He scurried down the stairs and quickly went looking for his new pajamas.
Lil G was not the best at finding his new PJs. He looked all around the room, by the tree and even behind his chair--where the jammies were sitting! Finally, he found them and we put his new duds on him.
Then, after much cajooling, Lil G settled down to hear the story. He kept interrupting to ask mama and dada, "But where the elf go?" Mama explained about a dozen times that the elf scurries away when he hears people coming. Finally, Lil G decided that Wembley must have frightened the elf. It's great how a two year old will just add his own spin to any story.
One of the sweetest sights ever- Dada and Lil G reading their book together, with the fire blazing in the background.
