Chanukah was so much fun with Ike! He understood a lot more of what was happening this year. Before we lit the candles on the first night, he and Daddy put on their kipot. For the remaining seven nights, Ike was the one to remind us about putting them on! After we sang the blessings each night, he would say "More song!"J bought him a set of six wooden cars that I wrapped individually so he could have one to wrap each night. He was so excited to see the package the first night, and that continued for the remaining nights as well. We also got him a book called I'm a Big Brother. We also gave him a kid-sized arm chair. He actually got that before Chanukah because I just couldn't wait!
Pa was here from Thursday to Monday, so we were able to have a nice family gathering on Saturday. We went to Gwee's house for latkes, dreidel spinning, and LOTS of presents. Uncle Mike's dog Layla was there to join in the fun. Ike LOVED his presents, watching the dreidels spin, and getting licked (and tickled) by his "cousin" Layla. We even got to capture a nice family photo during all the activity!
