The kids were up late last night, chatting with each other. I had to settle them down a few times and when Alan went up he found Lex sitting on the floor next to Eve’s bed chatting. They were so sweet, but it was late!

This morning Lex comes downstairs and the first thing he says is, “I’ve decided I’m going to start my Christmas list today.” Apparently he and Eve were discussing Christmas and all the things they want. When she woke up she started her Christmas list as well.

It was sweet listening to them chat over breakfast. Lex was helping Eve with her spelling and they were discussing the reality of Santa. Lex said he doesn’t believe in Santa, “Well, sometimes I do!” he added quickly. I think the logic befuddles him (as it should) but he’s a little worried about NOT believing! :) Following his statement the conversation went something like this:

Eve: “I had a present from Santa last year.”
Lex: “Did it say From Santa?”
Eve: “No, it just said Santa on it.”
Lex: “It was probably just someone in our family who wrote Santa on it.”
Eve (laughing): “No! That is just too silly. No one is that silly!”
Lex: “Aunt Katie is pretty silly. Maybe she wrote Santa on the package.”

I love the childhood logic!!
