We had a free Saturday.  We did a little bit of shopping to fulfill the donation items for school and work, then we spent the rest of the day at home.  We were not in the mood to decorate the house yet, but Stuart did set up our new Snowman and it is now brightly standing in front of our house.  The boys also wrote a letter to Santa with their wish lists.  Logan quickly wrote three generic things on his list and wished Santa a great day while Connor contemplated for a long time. Connor finally thought up 2 other things to make 3 things in total like Logan did, and at the end he added “I have been a good boy” in the letter too.  Logan helped Connor fold up the letter and addressed to Santa Claus at North Pole.

    On Sunday, we joined the Merons to have a gathering at the Gopal’s house.  The kids went up to play at Rohan’s room until time for pizza while the adults enjoyed some homemade Indian food.  After eating, the kids were off playing again.  At some point, Raz came tell me that Connor was crying.  When I went up with her to check on the situation, I saw Logan, Rohan and Raz all sat next to Connor who was teary.  He told me that Bar was saying some mean things to him, not letting him play something.  The situation quickly resolved after Revital talked to Bar, but it was cute seeing the kids all sat together supporting Connor.  Much later I saw Raz asking Connor to go play in the backyard, Connor agreed and put shoes on to step outside.  Raz went to get her shoes but got distracted playing something else.  The adults were all watching how patient Connor was sitting or walking around in the backyard waiting.  We finally reminded Raz that Connor was waiting for her, then she said “I forgot” but quickly went outside to play.  It was adorable!  Few hours of relaxing time, we wrapped up to go home.  The boys were tired from all the running and fell asleep during the drive home.
