Happy Hanukkah!

Happy Hanukkah, blog readers!
We've been celebrating for a while now, first with a family party a couple of weeks ago, then with our annual extended family party, and last night "officially" with latkes, the menorah and gifts for the girls.
 
While we were making the latkes, which surprisingly turned out great, Big A told me that I was a good cook. I said her not really and she told me to "keep trying, Mommy, and you'll get better." Good advice from a 4 year old, I must say.
 
This year's most-wanted items included a miniature sandbox for Big A and a babydoll that plays peek-a-boo for Little A. Both girls loved their presents. Us parents scored too -- J got a new iphone (see ya in a month, hubby) and I scored a new laptop which was much needed as our computer is from 2004 - which is like 1861 in computer years. Wow, computers have come a long way!
 
One holiday down, one to go! Hope everyone out there has a wonderful season.
