The girls were playing and putting on a pretend concert. Madelyn began introducing their show and said, "And if you enjoy the show there'll be refreshments after the show!"

We went to the Maryland Women's Basketball game today against UConn. While we were waiting for the doors to the Xfinity Center to open:
Man in front of us in line: Who's going to win?
Madelyn: Maryland!
Man: By how much?
Madelyn: One-hundred points!

Tony and I decided to go for a (second) walk this afternoon while here at Nana and Poppop's.
Tony to Madelyn: Do you want to go for a walk with us?
Madelyn, instantly: No! I want to keep playing!

On the way to Nana and Poppop's we were close enough to Yorktown, VA for it to appear on the mileage signs. When Madelyn finally noticed one, she whispered, "The Battle of Yorktown. 1781."

Tony took the girls to Target to return Alyson's slippers that were too small to the elves stationed there.
Alyson: Daddy, where are the elves?
Tony: They're working in the store and are dressed like the Target employees. They have red shirts and tan pants. There's one.
The entire rest of the way through the store, the girls kept pointing out Target "elves" by saying, "There's one!" every time they saw an employee.
Alyson seeing a Target employee as they were leaving: Is that a Target elf?
Tony: I don't know. It might be.
Madelyn: How will Santa get the slippers?
Tony: Don't worry. Santa and the elves will use their magic to make sure they get where they need to go.
Alyson: Daddy, where are the elves?
Tony: They're working in the store and are dressed like the Target employees. They have red shirts and tan pants. There's one.

While finishing up dessert at Mom and Dad's after Christmas dinner:
Alyson: I love Christmas!
Mom: Too bad Christmas is only once a year.
Madelyn: Jesus was only born once a year!
Tony: I'm pretty sure Jesus was only born once.
Madelyn: I mean we only celebrate his birth once a year!
Alyson: I love Christmas!
Mom: Too bad Christmas is only once a year.
Madelyn: Jesus was only born once a year!
Tony: I'm pretty sure Jesus was only born once.
Madelyn: I mean we only celebrate his birth once a year!

Admittedly, we usually leave Mass at Communion because Alyson just can't stay quiet for much longer. There are times we stay until the end of Mass like Christmas Eve and Easter. After we got back to the pew after Communion today, Madelyn whispered to me, "Are we going to leave? I thought was is over." Oops.
