Welcome Nathan

It's late Sunday night.  We had a fun weekend.  Hanukkah party at my parent's and then Eva's first birthday party!  Got the kids to bed early so we are relaxing now.  Only two days before the big break for everyone!  I also want to give a shout out to Ali and Todd on the birth of their beautiful baby Nathan!

Back to Thursday night.  We had more present to open.

Friday morning Aden was eager to find the Elves.

He was so excited they worked together on this.  He thought they wouldn't work together till the last day?!?!

All I can say this this was a tough one for the Elves and they were up way past midnight working on it.

Friday I went to Aden's school to get a head start on the holiday party activities.

My buddy.

We brought picture frames and paint.  At the party on Tuesday, we will take funny pictures of them and put them in the frames to take home.

The kids are all cute.

Matching smocks.

Before they left for music, they did their latest poems for me.

Friday night we went synagogue for a Hanukkah service and dinner.  I just took one pic of the Ariel chasing around the bigger kids.  It was a nice night.  A quick service, then lots of pizza and Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

That night, we had more presents to open.  Grandmom and grandpop had not seen the kids for a couple of weeks, they were on  cruise.

Ariel wanted to show them her room.

Thanks Dr. McStuffins.

Ok, bedtime.
