We've had a relaxing Christmas and have just had fun being together. Today we went bowling. The boys are really hooked on bowling these days -- ever since they played it on my Ipod-Touch. They figure the real thing is better. It's quite entertaining to play with them. They get so excited about any pin they knock down. They could care less about getting a strike or a spare. Connor has been busy helping Kim shovel. He loves to be outside in the snow and doing whatever his Dad is doing. We have about eight inches of snow and it keeps coming. The boys also got Utah and BYU sweatshirts this year. They tease each other about which team is better. Nicole was happy to see the Utes were represented at our house this year! She stopped by Christmas night and brought them new DVDs (a Christmas collection of Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry and Scooby Do). She certainly knows what they love. It was good to see her. We all miss seeing her every day.
Today we attended Connor's holiday preschool program, also at the Draper Historic Theatre. The 45-minute program was quite diverse -- ranging from a song about Hanukkah to Felice Navidad. What a difference a year makes. Last year the students hardly knew the words. This year they did challenging numbers complete with props and parts. Connor loves to sing and he's very good at it. Singing time and recess are his favorite things about school. It's still surreal for Kim and I to sit in the audience and watch our sons' Christmas programs. We are so proud of them and it's reassuring to see how much they love their classmates and teachers.
