Hanukkah Recap

Tomorrow is the 8th and final night of Hanukkah. Some highlights from the holiday...

Lighting candles with Mommy and getting presents:
Happy Hanukkah!
Sadie has learned the blessing and sings along when we light the candles! She had learned it by the 3rd night.

Notice the ecumenical quality of this photo as Sadie is wearing a Christmas outfit for her menorah lighting. Also notice the holiday cards in the background. If you look closely, you may spot Samuel, Cordelia, Tavyn, Anabel and Sophie, Aili and Ava and even Doug and Kristin.

Making latkes:

We did this on the 6th night. Sadie was already asleep, but Dan and I enjoyed them. Sadie ate a lot of latkes at...

Latkepalooza:
Isaac, Sadie and the cat door
Sadie's favorite part of the party was playing with the cat door with Isaac. The kids were fascinated with the little door that leads to the basement and to make it even better, both Daddies were in the basement talking to the kids.

It's been a really good Hanukkah.

It's nice to see that Sadie is getting introduced to the holiday traditions. I wonder if she will miss the activity and all the presents when the holidays end. Sadie might not enjoy the return to a "normal" routine. We're looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday.
