Family Hanukkah Celebration

We delayed our annual Hanukkah party with Mel and Pete until the 22nd, due to Lila's arrival. We had a lot of fun celebrating at our house this year (normally my sister handles Hanukkah). The brisket and latke sliders on Mom's homemade challah rolls were a huge hit. After candle lighting, lots of presents, and tons of food, we celebrated Justin's 36th. Happy Birthday, Justin! In the morning we headed over to Mom and Dad's house for bagels and lox before saying goodbye to M, P, and L.

Mel, Pete, and Baby Lila came to visit this weekend. I'm usually not a "baby person," but I sure loved holding and soothing my sweet, 3-week old niece. She is such a cutie pie!

We did a photo shoot with our talented friend, Aaron at Matanzas Creek Winery a few weeks ago. Here are some of our favorites. Hope you enjoy!
