Not much to say about this. Louise and Melanie play a duet on the piano. It’s nice. Listen.

Louise and the kids wanted to try out their new snowshoes so we went for a walk at Carburn Park. We don’t have lots of snow, but there was just enough to see how well they worked. Although Melanie wasn’t totally hooked, Andrew loved it. We’ll try to get into the mountains for a real test soon.

We had a quiet Christmas at home this year with just our immediate family. Although somewhat odd not to have a houseful of family, it was kind of nice too. We’ll be seeing family at the end of the week, so we’ll get the best of both worlds. The kids still had lots of excitement as they opened their presents and played with all the new stuff!

We had Christmas concerts at both Andrew’s daycare and at Melanie’s school on Wednesday. Well at the School they actually call it the “Winter Concert” instead of a Christmas concert, but we all know that they’re doing it right before Christmas holidays and therefore it’s really the Christmas concert, no matter what religion anyone believes in. But that’s just my rant for the day!

Both of the concerts were great and both Andrew and Melanie were very involved. Andrew’s class actually took their show on the road yesterday and performed for “The Grandparents” at a local Seniors home. Apparently some of the residents didn’t stop talking about the show all day! Andrew was loud and bouncy and got rave reviews for his performance.

Melanie also had a central role and got to play the bongo drums during her performance. It looked like lots of fun…

Andrew had a terrible streak going where he was peeing his pants every day.

I finally asked him what it would take to get him to stop. He told me that for a Light Up Light Saber he would do it. “I Promise!!”. So I agreed that if he went a whole week then I would buy it for him. I had no idea where to get it or what it would cost, but it was worth it. And he did it. Yay!

Yes, this is blatant bribery, but I’m totally OK with it. He stopped peeing his pants cold turkey. I’m a happy dad.
