This week was my first Chanukah. Â And I must say that this is definitely my kind of holiday. Â 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. Â From Grandma Penny and Grandpa Arthur. Â It was a wonderful toy that made lots of cool sounds. There was also fun stuff for me to touch and even chew on. Â It was my very first Chanukah gift ever. Â But before I was able to open the gift, Mommy and I read the nice card from my grandparents. Â THANKS GRANDMA AND GRANDPA.
The second night kicked off with a party at Aunt Addie and Uncle Seth’s house. Â We had the the whole gang there. From cousins Hannah and Sammy to family friend Franco. Â Even Great Aunt Helene came! Â 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. Â Latkahs, pasta, meatballs, Â and meatless meatballs.
We had lots of fun seeing everyone and opening gifts.
Talking of gifts… Nanna got me my first Elmo toy. Â It is awesome. Â Although it scared the pants of daddy when it was turned on. Â It talks, sinks, and even tells jokes! Â THANKS NANNA.
But the best part of Chanukah had to be lighting the candles every night with Mommy, Daddy, and Yogi. Â The warm glow of the light was soo peaceful and beautiful.
