While I was at work yesterday, Stuart, the boys and Dora went out to the park to play.  Dora did a short run on her own, then played soccer with the boys.  I think the boys tried their best to keep up with auntie Dora.  I was able to leave work earlier which was very nice.  By Connor’s request, Stuart and I put up the Christmas lights on the house.  Then we went out for a nice dinner.

    Today Dora and I decided to go have dim sum, and only Connor chose to come with us.  Connor wanted to be festive and wore a Christmas hat for our outing.  Connor was very adventurous trying different food.  He actually enjoyed “chicken feet” when I offered him some small pieces.  He even copied us using chopsticks and was successful eating the dumplings with them.  Afterward, he was helping us buying grocery.  Connor was very good opening up those produce bags for us that he had asked to stop doing it at some point.

   Tonight we had hot pot for dinner which was delicious.  The boys enjoyed it with some noodles on the side.  After cleaning up, four of us played Chutes and Ladders.  We laughed and had fun.  Logan was not a good loser; he wanted to quit once but held it together until the end.  Connor enjoyed the game very much and he was so happy that he won the second game.  He even said to me later “Mommy, I never won and I am so happy that I won.  Can we play again tomorrow?”
