Night four was by far our best night of Chanukah, because we celebrated two holidays in one night. Owen was so excited all day for "baht-baht, more Chankah!" and it was absolutely melting my heart.
The three of us celebrated with homemade latkes, Jeremy's grandmother's brisket recipe and lots of candles. We even danced a little and Owen opened a few presents.
This evening is by far my favorite Chanukah memory yet!
Our downstairs neighbor (who claims to dislike children) brought Owen over some gelt and a musical dreidel. It was really, really sweet. I told him he'd gone soft on us ;) -- Also this is what Owen does when I say, "Smile! Show me your teeth!"
He's getting ready for "baht-baht"
Very excited about his Shabbat play set. We light our candles with a Bic torch lighter, so naturally he thought the wooden knife that came with the set was a lighter :)
And we even have a video of Owen dancing and Daddy flipping latkes (please ignore my loud commentary...) Also you'll notice when I turn the camera away from him he demands the spotlight :)
