Christmas Party & Haunkkah Celebration

All dressed up for Matteo's Christmas party at school today!

After singing Jingle Bells, Must be Santa and You'd Better Watch out...we were treated to a visit by Santa & Mrs. Claus.  Even Chloe May got out of the pew to see St. Nick.

After school we stopped home briefly and then headed over to our friend Marisa's house to help celebrate Hanukkah.  Our celebration included brisket, potato pancakes, mashed potatoes and a whole lot more!.  But first we enjoyed a viewing of the Christmas Wipeout. 

Aunt Jen always comments on what a great hugger Chloe May is - and with someone as loving as Aunt Jen, how could you not want to hug her.

Though their was a small gift exchange by Jen, Marisa & Myself among the children - most of the gifts being gag gifts - Daniel received this much deserved and biggest surprise bicycle by Marisa & Brad.

Can you feel the joy and excitement in the room?

A lovely way to start the Holiday Weekend.  Cheers.  e.
