Every year we go to the Iten's to celebrate Hanukkah, this year we were planning on hosting but a furnace issue spoiled our plans so we packed up and followed our tradition. I love the miracle that is celebrated on this holiday of how the people having faith in God saved them and made the light last eight days. I am paraphrasing but still... this year I finally got to share Christmas with Annabelle! The boys love playing dreidel and lighting the doughnut menorah (yes, Cath is very brave) that Cathryn cleverly makes for them every year. Lukas is amazingly good at saying the blessings with Cathryn in Hebrew and Alex is quiet but listens very seriously. This year we added a stocking for Annabelle and read her "Twas the Night Before Christmas" too. Anna loved her new phone but my favorite was watching her pull her very own dreidel out of her stocking! How many kids can say that happened to them! Cathryn has great pictures on her blog too, just use "The Iten's" link on the right of my page and go to the Happy Hanukkah post. Thank you Itens, we had a blast as usual! Can't wait for Matza Pizza!
