Happy Chanukah 2010

Chanukah is always a fun, festive time of year for us and now that Jonah is here it's even more fun! With presents and new toys, we all had a great time opening new boxes and watching his reaction filled with excitement as everything was unwrapped. It's amazing how Jonah already understands the concept of opening new toys. He makes the most hysterical face, wide eyes with an open mouth! It's too funny! ....and since Grandma and Grandpa got him a 4-wheeler that actually moves 1mph and a bunch of new cars and a Little People car track, he was amazed! Jonah also loved lighting the candles every night and danced as we sang the prayers. Every time he walked by the menorahs Jonah would stare at the lights and try to blow on them like they were birthday candles...too cute. Of course teaching him that they are hot and not to touch was key. Needless to say we had a wonderful time eating, celebrating, and laughing with our little man....what a difference it makes to have a little one around during the holidays....it's just that much (so much) more special!

The excitement was building....
Wow!!!

And there's more!!!....
So much fun, playing with cars...
Happy Chanukah!!!
Yes, it looks like Jonah was trying to touch the candles...but really he was just pointing and trying to blow them out :)
