Happy hanukkah

This year has been a bigger Hanukkah effort- home made latkes, lighting the candles nightly, dreidel games. We even drove about ~30 minutes away to go to the Temple's Hanukkah festival. What a let down.... it was so lame. Singing songs in a bland looking hall wasn't what I was expecting or hoping for. Bummer. Plus I think it had to be the only Temple event I know of that served grilled sausages (Aussies don't do anything -8:00am soccer games to store openings to school parties without having a grilled sasuage sandwiches served on white bread).

happy hanukkah!

Made homemade latkets and apple sauce for dinner. Plus made felt menorah for kids. The kids loved it- what is not to love- the idea of gifts (even small ones) for the next 8 nights, Nate got to play with fire (lighting the candles) and we gambled with chocolate (dreidel & gelt). My favorite part was the latkes- I think I ate 5 of them ;) Happy Hanukkah to all!

(before I get any messages back- the candles were in the right place- starting on the left side when they were facing the kids....nate just came to my side to light the candles).

a fun weekend

It was a brilliant weekend- stunning warm sunny weather and fun plans. Friday night we went to the opening weekend of the new Sydney baseball team (think Carolina league games or high-end college baseball games)- see pictures in the entry below. Plus we had two birthday parties plus plenty of fun time in the pool.

All of a sudden Nate seems much less a little boy and more and more a big kid. He is now into skateboarding, the proper "flat" hat and long hair (which he flicks- I think he is going to hurt his neck from doing it so much:))

Check out the kids doing tricks in the garage:
