Eight Friends (and Relatives) of Chanukah

We had one night of plans, but somehow they're lasting eight nights.


1. On the day before Chanukah, brunch with cousin Brielle (who is no longer a "baby")...


2. On the night before Chanukah, dinner with Ari...


3. On the day Chanukah started, Raffaella's second birthday celebration...


4. On the second night of Chanukah, dinner with Marco, "Aunt" Susan, "Uncle" Shervin, Kameron and Vincenzo...


5. On the fourth night of Chanukah, a celebration with Benjamin...


6 and 7. On the sixth day of Chanukah, lunch with Katherine, Sophia, and Pooh Bear (Happy Birthday "Uncle" Rob!)


8. On the last night of Chanukah, a trip to see Eli who is visiting from the other side of the country (adjusting to those time zones got us turned upside-down).


Anyone else feel tired (and want to suck a thumb and twirl some hair) from all that celebrating??


Wow - I need a nap!
