So...Brad is totally elf. Why? Because we've all always assumed he was adopted. Come on, everyone thinks it when they see THE family picture (the one where Jen's 14 but in mom jeans with belly rolls and Josh looks like a mountain man). I can imagine the photographer saying..."OK we'll put the biological children here...and well...the adopted child here." Totally inappropriate, but an effective subtle clue for anyone who walks into my parents house. Also, Brad's always been too charming to be a Rew and it's our understanding Thera likes to sing in the Shower. So, Elf it was.
Josh would own the leg lamp. He'd even like it. It's possible Josh could purchase the leg lamp, study by it's light to right a complete PHD dissertation before ever realizing it was a leg in fish net tights. And, Sarah and Josh like to watch weird foreign movies so they probably say things like "fra-gee-lay".
Jen and Chad had to be the Griswalds. First off, they currently live in a house that has random light switches that just might control the outdoor Christmas lights. Second, Chad likes to dress in Jen's old maternity clothes and watch home movies in the attic. Third, we all know if Jen tried to cook the turkey it would turn out like something from the movie Alien. Finally, it provided an opportunity to swear on the blog.
Missy and Ryan as Martha May Whovier and The Grinch. Why? Well, because Ryan didn't fit the mold of all the Rews down in Rewville. He is of course green and fuzzy. Missy never lost hope though. And, eventually, Ryan was invited to Christmas dinner.
Janna and Howard as Mary and George Bailey. This was for three reasons. First, Janna loves old classic movies. Second, they really do have a wonderful life. And most important of all, we all know my mother utters those words to Howard on a regular basis. "Where's that money, you silly stupid old fool?" She calls it pillow talk.
NaDell, when you go to my parent's house to collect your check and Howard answers the door just say-
"Where's that money, you silly stupid old fool?"

I didn't have any idea I needed to hurry with my answer. I will get on the ball. I loved the reasoning, from both Headquarters and NaDell's. After reading NaDell's answer I couldn't think of anything better. So I was taking my time to try to come up with someone different.
I don't know if I should say things Janna says as pillow talk to my bishop, however, I will if that's what it takes (but only that one line!)
I'd love to join your family!
NaDell the adoption papers are prepared for you, the only catch is you have to pay a $50.00 processing fee.
Thank you for giving me the one opportunity to say "you silly stupid old fool!" I would never really try to pull that one off without good reason.
