Last Thursday we had Thanksgiving dinner with the grandparents. Safta bought a 20 lb. turkey for 7 people. Andy and Grandpa enjoyed the turkey, Safta doesn't eat fowl, I don't think Auntie R (from now on to be referred to as Roofie; per M) ate any, I had a little bit and M and B did not enjoy the bird at all. Needless to say, there was quite a bit of the Thanksgiving bird left over. The boys both enjoyed the bread rolls...carb-a-holics!!!!
Later that night we celebrated the first night of Hannukah, a little bit early, so that Grandpa and Safta could share the holiday with the boys. We lit the candles and sang a little...though none of us could really remember the words to the songs. Safta showed Matthew how to spin a dreidle and then he practiced with Roofie...B practiced stuffing the tops in his mouth. A (from now on known as ba-ba) gave M a garbage truck and he squealed with excitement. It was awesome.

Auntie R and the boys spinning dreidels.The next night we celebrated the second night of Hannukah and Grandpa and Safta brought out the old record player with the old Hannukah record...yes, I said "record"...from when we were kids. Anyway, the record player no longer worked...a shocker, I know, so Grandpa brought out the drums and other musical instruments...again from my own childhood...and let the kids have at it. Safta also sang "Oh Driedle" and spun around with Matthew. I wish I had gotten that on tape.
