Christmas Eve Prayer

Xander said the family prayer at bedtime on Christmas Eve.  He prayed, "Please help us to sleep well so that we can wake up regenerated."

“Mom, you know that rock in Reece’s yard?  Well, it’s an asteroid.  Do you know how I know?  Because I smelled it, and it smelled like outer space!”

I was getting Alexander to bed and said, “Go to sleep so you can wake up in the morning and be happy.”  Xander said, “Mom, happy is not my thing.”

Xander's Weakness

Xander and Hannah were playing together tonight and chasing each other and laughing.  Xander stops in mid-chase and says: "Mom, I have discovered what my weakness is." I say, "Really.  What is your weakness?"
Xander replies: "'Hannah Smiles' are my weakness."

True dat.

Jealous brother?

This one kind of speaks for itself.  And to make it even better, Alexander DID get his own package from grandma and grandpap.

Xander's Contract

Alexander went with John to help set up things for our church's Christmas party tomorrow night. On the way there John reminds him that they are going there to work, not to play around. He says to John enthusiastically, "Yep. That's in my contract." "What contract?" John asks. "My personal contract," he tells him. "It says I'm here to help." Good boy, Xander.

Xander to John: "Dad, do you know what galaxy Jesus lives in?".
John: "Uh, no......".
Xander: "Jesus lives on a planet called 'Hope'".

All Terrain Tires

Today while driving Alexander home from school, a commercial came on the radio for winter tires.  Xander said, "We don't need winter tires.  We've got all weather terrain tires.  We can go through rain, snow, leaves, hottness, anything we want.  Well, except maybe trees and cement.".
