Merry Christmas to all of you who are celebrating today yesterday,
and Happy Chanuka to those of you [like me] who are Jewish.
And to any of my other followers who celebrate anything different that I am not aware of-- please make me "aware". I would like to be politically correct and honor those friends who celebrate holidays different from the ones I am familiar with.
Last night, we celebrated the 6th night of Chanukah. (By the way, you can spell chanukan/hanukkah about a million different ways in English-- but only one way in Hebrew. It's an interpretation thing-- there's really no "correct" way.)
This photo is from a couple nights ago. There is the Shamesh-- the candle that lights the others, and it is given the highest place, usually on the right, but this menorah was created through the eyes of a preschooler, so anything goes.

| a lont-time fave of my 9 yr old daughter: Littlest Pet Shop (LPS) new this year: the "walking" ones The kids have received lots of fun and exciting presents, and there is a lot of creative play going on in this house. |

| The young guy had to have a backpack on wheels-- just like his Big Sister has |
 |
| The Opening of the Presents: requires Patience, Time and assorted Tools! |
 |
| The Big Hit: Hot Wheels car racing |
 |
| Ready, Set, Go!! |
 |
| The Finish Line: complete with battery-controlled winner announcer |

The kids have been very busy and playing so nicely together! [I love it when there's no bickering.]
I hope that you all celebrated your holidays with loved ones. I loved reading about and seeing everyone's decorations, traditions and festivities for the holidays.
Have a great day!

Happy Holidays to you as well.
I can see you've had a great time - I had forgotten the delights of all those wire ties inside childrens' toys!
Have a wonderful New Year

It looks like everyone had an enjoyable holiday.
