Christmas '10

Although we celebrate Hanukkah at home, we thoroughly enjoy Christmas fun at Grandma Sherry and Grandpa John's. A couple of weeks ago the kids and I helped to trim their tree. It is a tradition we started last year, and I really love it. On Christmas day, we spent the afternoon at the Magers' along with Bryan and my parents.

Our VIP

Alanna is the VIP in her class this week. She was so excited for her week to arrive. We made a picture timeline that is displayed in the classroom. She had to share it with the class on Monday and children were able to ask questions and comment on the photos. She gets to sit in a special chair in front of the "learning carpet," dismiss children to their tables, hold the flag during The Pledge of Allegiance, be the line-leader, etc...

Hanukkah at Mel and Pete's

On Saturday we headed up to Sacramento for our annual Hanukkah celebration and sleepover at Mel and Pete's. The kids had a blast playing with their Auntie Mel. She is one fun lady! Justin and Pete did a fantastic job cooking the latkes (with Dad's supervision!). It was a great weekend.
