We went all-out for the first night of Hanukah. We had been talking about the holiday with the boys for weeks, and Joey had been learning about it in school. He was so excited and couldn’t wait for Greg to get home from work for the celebrations to begin!
While the latke’s and matzo ball soup cooled, we showed the kids how to spin the dreidel. Joey’s kept ending up on the floor, which he thought was hilarious!
Latke time!
Enjoying some chocolate gelt for dessert 🙂
Joey trying to trading me a driedel for my Hanukah gelt. He succeeded…
Grandma and Grandpa arrived from Arizona just in time to the light the candles and open presents!
Joey was VERY excited about his gift-his own camera! He’s shown a great deal of interest in mine lately, so we figured it was time he had his own (before he broke mine!)
His first few photos!
Benji got these blocks for the 1st night of Hanukah. After 15 minutes, he had eaten (yes, eaten) 3 of them. I guess we’ll have to put them away for a few months until he’s past the paper-eating phase…
Very cute!
