Chevy in Action

So as not be accused of neglecting to take baby pictures of the 3rd, here are some cute shots. Chevy's rolling over and showing off her pearly whites. She already has three teeth on the bottom! We're sure she'll be eating steak in no time.

Sisterly Love

While Sruli was taking his afternoon siesta on the couch, the girls shared some bonding time.

Uncle Elie

To quote Uncle Jacob, "Aww.... I dont know who is cuter, Chevy or Elie. I think it's a tie!"

The Last Night

We had so much fun lighting our menorahs, cooking and eating our greasy latkes and sufganiyot, spinning our dreidels, dancing at Chanuka parties and even getting a few presents. We were sad to see Chanuka go, but are already looking forward to Tu b'Shvat!

Chef Sruli at Work

Sruli's special Chanuka gan started a little later in the morning, so we used the time to fry up the doughnuts we made the night before. I added in ribat chalav (duche de leche) and Sruli spread a little strawberry jelly in his. They were delish!

Yummmm!

Here we are enjoying our first jelly doughnuts of Chanuka. Yum!

The First Night of Chanuka

We were so excited to light the menorah on the first night and to watch the oil burn. We had fun taking walks outside after we lit to look at all of the menorahs in the windows. It's great to be in Jerusalem for Chanuka - menorahs outside in glass cases by doorways and in nearly every apartment, and no x-mas decorations in sight. We loved eating our latkes and doughnuts that we made together, too.
