I had to settle them down a few times and when Alan went up he found Lex sitting on the floor next to Eve&#8217;s bed chatting.  They were so sweet, but it was late! <\/p>\n<p>This morning Lex comes downstairs and the first thing he says is, &#8220;I&#8217;ve decided I&#8217;m going to start my Christmas list today.&#8221;  Apparently he and Eve were discussing Christmas and all the things they want.  When she woke up she started her Christmas list as well.  <\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t believe in Santa, &#8220;Well, sometimes I do!&#8221; he added quickly.  I think the logic befuddles him (as it should) but he&#8217;s a little worried about NOT believing! :)  Following his statement the conversation went something like this:<\/p>\n<p>Eve: &#8220;I had a present from Santa last year.&#8221;<br \/>\nLex: &#8220;Did it say <em>From<\/em> Santa?&#8221;<br \/>\nEve: &#8220;No, it just said Santa on it.&#8221;<br \/>\nLex: &#8220;It was probably just someone in our family who wrote Santa on it.&#8221;<br \/>\nEve (laughing): &#8220;No! That is just too silly.  No one is that silly!&#8221;<br \/>\nLex: &#8220;Aunt Katie is pretty silly.  Maybe she wrote Santa on the package.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>I love the childhood logic!!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The kids were up late last night, chatting with each other.
