Turkey Day and Hanukkah all at once!

Thanksgiving was November 25th, and tonight is the first night of Hanukkah. I hate it when they're that close together. It did, however, provide a great opportunity for my mom and Lynn celebrate Hanukkah early with us a few days early. The following pictures are of the long weekend, and are pretty much self-explanatory.



Wearing hats of Xander's choice: a gift bag for me, a makeup bag for him.





Hat close-up.





Cuddling on the couch.





Me in the car.





Taking a break from an early morning art project.






The wooden menorah was my first menorah at the age of two. It's actually made for crayons.





Menorahs in the modern age: putting in the shamash.





Very excited to have a hopping dreidel: twist the peg and the thing waddles on over to you.





Lynn gave Xander a ride-on toy that he loves. Simcha immediately claimed the box.




What a perfect place for a wrestling match!
