18 DecDreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel……

This week was my first Chanukah.  And I must say that this is definitely my kind of holiday.  After all, we celebrate for 8 days and I get lots of gifts!!!

We started off the first night with a special gift all the way from the North….No, not the North Pole silly.  From Grandma Penny and Grandpa Arthur.  It was a wonderful toy that made lots of cool sounds. There was also fun stuff for me to touch and even chew on.  It was my very first Chanukah gift ever.  But before I was able to open the gift, Mommy and I read the nice card from my grandparents.  THANKS GRANDMA AND GRANDPA.

The second night kicked off with a party at Aunt Addie and Uncle Seth’s house.  We had the the whole gang there. From cousins Hannah and Sammy to family friend Franco.  Even Great Aunt Helene came!  And of course ( since it was at Uncle Seth’s house) Nanna had to do all the cooking and she cooked a great meal with all the goodies.  Latkahs, pasta, meatballs,  and meatless meatballs.

We had lots of fun seeing everyone and opening gifts.

Talking of gifts… Nanna got me my first Elmo toy.  It is awesome.  Although it scared the pants of daddy when it was turned on.  It talks, sinks, and even tells jokes!  THANKS NANNA.

But the best part of Chanukah had to be lighting the candles every night with Mommy, Daddy, and Yogi.  The warm glow of the light was soo peaceful and beautiful.
