Thanksgivukkah

We started off this year's once in a lifetime double celebration with our traditional Thanksgiving family get together with the cousins, Aunt Rachel and Grandma Marcy. Gobble, gobble!

  As the week of Hanukkah progressed, we partied with the Pokornys.

 Hank tried his very first latke with his friend, Mira.

 Then, for dessert, Hank and Mira made candy dreidels. Yum!

 Grandpa (formerly Poohpa) came to visit, as well. We celebrated Shabbat together,

and played with toys together, too.

 At the end of the holiday whirlwind, 

we all headed to the Matz Family home for one last day of Hanukkah fun.

What a remarkable and memorable Thanksgivukkah!

Hanukkah Finale

Hank ended his Hanukkah with a slam dunk. 

Let's play some basketball!

And after working up an appetite,

Grandma Marcy took Hank to Baskin Robbins for some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. 

Nothing like Grandma love to warm Hank's heart.

What a wonderful Hanukkah finale!

Hanukkah with Eli

Hank's good friend, Eli, joined us for Hanukkah tonight.

 Both kids looked at the candles with wonderment.

 May the glowing lights on the Hannukiah fill our hearts with happiness.

Hanukkah Happiness with the Matz Family

Each year, we go to Aunt Rachel, Sierra and Ryder's house for a Hanukkah party. 

Highlights included making, baking, decorating and devouring Hanukkah cookies . . .

giving and receiving presents,

 playing with new toys,

and engaging in an exciting (and yummy) game of dreidel. 

Thank you Matz Family for all the holiday fun!

The Last Night of Hanukkah

Thanks to all of our family and friends for helping make our Hanukkah bright!
