The boys were really old enough this year to anticipate the excitement of Hannukah. \u00a0They began a count down 2 weeks prior and couldnt wait to light the candles on night 1!<\/p>\n

We read three different Hannukah books each night, beginning at T-7 days. \u00a0Joey really does understand the meaning behind the holiday now.<\/p>\n
