Christmas was finally here ...



I have been hearing about this whole Christmas thing and it finally came! I got up and my cookies were eaten by Santa and he left me a thank you note and then the tree was surrounded by gifts!!
I got so much wonderful things. Of course I needed a break mid gift opening to have breakfast. Then to bubbe and pops where there was even more stuff! What a great day!

I also finally got to meet my cousin Sam who was visiting from Australia! This weekend I get to see more of my cousins and can not wait.

Today we went to pick out my first Christmas tree. Now we just have to decorate it so I can take all the ornaments off.

Happy Hanukkah




Tuesday night started the first night of Hanukkah. Every night for 8 nights I light the menorah, say a pray and oh then I get a present. Tonight we made latkes and celebrated with cousin Joseph, Uncle Adam, Bubbe and Pop.
