Hanukkah

This past weekend we went to Plano to celebrate Hanukkah with Dan's family. Dan's mom hosted a Hanukkah party and everyone had a good time. There was lots of food, family and fun! Joshua and his cousin Kaden played together really well and even put on a little dance show for us. Well, actually it was for them because they were dancing and giggling to their reflection in the TV. It was still fun to watch them. There were plenty of presents to open, but Joshua was still all about the tissue paper. I thought he would have out grown that, but nope; he was throwing it up in the air and trying to catch it and then proceeded to play peek a boo with it! What a funny guy! He was more into unwrapping or should I say ripping the paper off the packages this year, so that was fun to watch.

This is how Milo spent the evening on Saturday during the party. He was so worn out from playing with the 3 doggies that lived there. He actually took over this whole chair and was not interested in anything but sleeping...lol

There was also alot of drediel playing going on as well. Joshua loved to watch the drediel spin and spin and would try and catch it before it stopped spinning. Sometimes, he wouldn't even let it get past the first 2 spins before he had it stopped...lol When it would stop spinning or Joshua would catch it, he would giggle and then ask daddy or Uncle Eric to "do it again!"

Joshua also got the special task of making the dessert! Caramel chewy brownies, YUMMO!! Mimi and Joshua spent some time in the kitchen preparing this fabulous dessert. Mimi did all the measuring and pouring and Joshua did all the stirring. He even helped unwrap the caramels too.

So happy to be helping and stirring. He would smell the bowl and say "mmmm, chocolate!" and then smell the bowl again and say "it's delicious!"

Mimi and Joshua with their finished dessert!! They were so good!!

It was nice to get to be with everyone and we all had a great time together. Thanks Mimi and Papa for the great Hanukkah party!!! We had a blast!
