How We Celebrate Hanukkah!!

Every year we celebrate the festival of Hanukkah... This year was especially special!

The festival lasts eight days and we have the best time every year. Each night you are given a present... in our family the tradition is that each night a different person gives out a present to each of the family members. Because our family is so big it ends up that every night each person receives a gift.

Our presents can be handmade, store bought, drawn, etc. We light a new candle each night, eat potato pancakes, doughnuts and play dreidel. We have our friends over and have a great time!

Here are some pictures that I took (sorry that there are not more, I was too busy having fun with my family)
























If you have any questions.. email me or leave the question in a comment and I will get back to you!!

What is your favorite family tradition??

Why the heck have I been absent??

           








Life has been busy!! I can't even catch my breath.

Sunday I rode horses and visited a friend.

Monday I did my school, went to writing class and rode horses.

Tuesday I did school all morning and in the afternoon I rode with a friend

Wednesday I did school ALL day long, made some cards in the late afternoon and babysat in the evening!

So I am tired, worn out and sleepy. (Yes I just use three different words that mean the same thing)

And Blogging kinda went on my lowest priority list! I have lots of school to finish up, but I promise next week I will have tons of posts... because..

I get a whole week off for Hanukkah Break!!

I cant wait :) Tomorrow I am going to have a post up about Hanukkah, Stay Tuned!

Have the grandest week,
