Happy Holidays!!!!!

Sending you our best wishes for a happy holidays!!!!

Hope you have a season filled with joy, laughter, good health, and friends abound (mixed with a bit of dark chocolate and a lot of good wine ;)…..all together making fond memories for years to come.

All is well here in Sydney. We are enjoying a warm rather than white Christmas. It has been a mixed year –but I am thankful to start 2011 100% cancer free. I am lucky to have had great doctors, effective pharmaceuticals, a supportive husband, wonderful funny children and the love and support of thoughtful caring friends and family. Now on to think about the next life adventure………..

Hope 2011 brings us all a fresh start, a better economy, good times and good health.

Love ,
Mimi (& Michael, Nathan and Reese)

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).
