Santa

Kate is just on the cusp of not believing in Santa. We do a tradition called Elf on the Shelf (many of you may have heard of it). Anyway, there's this cute little elf, included with a book. The Elf magically moves around each night to a different location, where he will watch the kids. At night is when he goes and reports to Santa on how the kids were that day.

This year, Kate was asking "Is McGiggle (his name) real?" (As she looks very closely at his face) "His face looks like plastic to me"
Suzy, "I don't know, what do you think?"
Kate, "Well, he moves around at night, so I guess he's real."

Suzy often does this (avoids the subject at this point).

We were watching some Christmas movie (I can't remember what it was) and the parents were filling the kid's stockings. Kate pipes up, "Why are the parents filling their stockings and not Santa?"

Anyway, here's a picture of the plate of goodies that Santu was left. He sure enjoyed them, in fact the only thing that was left was part of a marshmallow. Which Jace ate while we were opening presents.
