Thanksgiving and Chanukah 2015

Derek made his bed all by himself!  He's ready for company to come over!

Happy Thanksgiving 2015

All that Turkey really takes it out of you!

From one party to the next.
SO excited for his Ninja Turtles Chocolate Pop!

The Barbag Brothers --- tickle time in the tub!

SO excited to open a belated birthday present!

Oh the Zippy Sack!  TOO fun -- and now BOTH of them can make their beds on their own!

Joshie Monster!

 Time for haircuts!

Benji's 2nd Haircut.

Josh is ready to go!

He did well!

Derek is always game for a haircut.
It means getting a lollipop, after all!

Frieda and her boys came for a quick visit --- SO exciting that Bryan and Frieda will have 3 boys, too (but 2 of theirs will be twins!!!)

Everyone loves Frieda!

Back to our house for the 1st night of Chanukah!

Zaide teaches the boys how to play dreidel!

All Mommy wants is a "Dr. Dre-del"  :)

This kid is CONSTANTLY laughing at Zaide!

 The best decoration in the house?

Fun with Family on the 1st night of Chanukah!

Getting ready to light the menorah!

 Thank you Hildenbrands for the yummy Sufganiyot to help celebrate the holiday!

Of course, the boys were totally into the presents, too!

Still nothing beats storytime before bedtime!

Especially if it's Zaide reading the story!

 Another night, some more presents!

Benji is starting to get the hang of this present opening, too!

Dreidel I Shall Play

Mommy came in to read Josh a story and he was nowhere to be found!

There he is --- hiding on the side!

 Each morning Derek has woken up and put together his latest set of legos.  He's obsessed!!!

Josh liked the mask set he received.

Mommy had some fun with it, too!

Another year, another great Chanukah filled with light and love!

Happy Chanukah!!!

Josh LOVES his new Shabbat Set!

Mommy finishes out the first half of her school year
with a viewing of  The Grinch!  She MUST be
ready for a break, if she's becoming a Grinch herself!
