For the past 8 days, we have been celebrating Hanukkah to the max! The JCC had an event where the kids did activities with the parents, performed their songs and shared snacks. We lit candles at home and Riley proved that he can do it on his own (while Asher kept trying to blow them out), Chris and I went to a Vodka Latke party and we have had enough latkes to last us for the whole year.
We have had gifts for the boys each night and there have been some top winners! Riley got a loop-de-loop race track, Legos and lightsabers. Asher got a train set, books and toys. Tonight we went to the JCC for an 8th night celebration and tomorrow night we will be celebrating with the family for a bonus night of Hanukkah.
Asher now officially knows the word 'present' and knows to ask for them after we light the candles. I think it will be a tough habit to break and he will probably expect a gift every night after dinner. Riley also thinks that the gifts will continue on Christmas, so that will be something to look forward to.
