Ezri got a kit for making lip balm from Aunt Coral.
She loved mixing colors and flavors.
She made 5 flavors and as a plus is using lip balm on cold days more!
She also gave me a purple kiss this morning.

That magical morning we realize we all just happen to be wearing our Star Wars pajamas.

Family photo time.

Dreidel game at the grandparents’ congregation’s annual holiday party. Other highlights included the unique materials menorah competition which featured a light sabre menorah and a frog menorah crafted by Ezri’s Grandma Liz. Singing Hanukkah songs together and feasting on latkes is wonderful every year.

This family knows the best way to relax – with a good book.

She’s not quite tall enough to put the spaghetti monster at the top by herself. She tried this year, but it’s going to be a few more inches. Maybe next year!

First snow ball fight

Catching snowflakes on tongues

So long, summer snapdragons

If you run through the snowflakes it’s like you are a spaceship.
Ezri running in circles in the yard saying, “Hyperspace!”
They are also both pretty good at hitting snowballs with a foam light saber.

Amanda made the best target for snowballs.

You can get just enough snow off the car hood for a satisfying snowball.

Her snowball may not be big but she is coming for ME!

Spent in DeKalb with the Blaus. We are thankful for family, tasty food and PIE!

Aunt, uncle and grandparents are good for reading stories, doing puzzles, playing Top Trumps cards and Ivan’s newly discovered love – Uno.

Ivan won Uno more than he lost. He’s very proud of this.

Ivan was heard to chant, “pie! pie! pie!” While all 3 pies were popular with both children, I think it is safe to say chocolate pumpkin won the fan favorite award. Here they are waiting impatiently for the cutting of the pies.

is a sled ornament Ezri made out of popsicle sticks and glitter.

The sleds look like this:

Berry French Toast

Chocolate Chip Pancakes
