I am sooooooo late on posting, but since the kids and the dad are sleeping...I'm catching up. We are blesed to spend the holidays every year with an amazing group of friends and family. We start it off every year with our Jewish friends who invite us to spend a night of Hanukkah with them. It is a fun filled (and educational for all of us protestants :) evening filled with candles, latkes, kugel and....PRESENTS!!!!
Everyone tries to be so patient!
Whoooooooaaaaaa!!!! The boys' faces are so great! Remote control ANYTHING is so cool!
Jack, Riley and Elijah enjoying the festivities!
There were at least 3 Mommies trying to take pictures and Riley was grumpy. Miss Mara was instructing on the proper papparazzi smile....wait for it....
CHEESE!!!!!
Happy Holidays to you and yours! And thank you for our Hanukkah Hosts, Billy and Teri for another great kickoff to a season of wonderful holiday traditions!
