Elazar's Chanukah Gan Party

חנוכה שמח גדול היה פה

Elazar had a Chanukah performance/party in Gan. We were very impressed at how well Elazar did considering we figure he doesn't understand a word his teacher is saying. This is his first time in a Hebrew speaking Gan. It must have been the sufganiah he was promised if he didn't make any mistakes!!!

As I'm sure you know from the older kids it was the usual 'playing music and having the kids dance in circles and do hand motions while holding various paraphernalia'. But of course it was Elazar's first time, so we all have to make a big deal out of it.

Elazar was fabulous and the whole performance went without a hitch...well almost...

Bubby and Grandpa's 'Thankful' Visit

Bubby and Grandpa spent a little over a week with us. They rented a car so they could visit friends and family in Be'er Sheva and Beit Shemesh, later in the week.

Ima took advantage by checking on the new project in Mispeh Yireecho, so they could see 'their guest room'. She showed Bubby and Grandpa around the neighborhood, as well as set them up with a real estate agent to look around Ma'aleh Adumim

On Thursday, we celebrated Thanksgiving the 'Israeli' way -- dinner at Burger's Bar.

Elisheva took Friday off from school and went with them to an Art Exhibition on Rechov Betzalel. They also stopped by the Shuk Machaneh Yehudah to pick up Challahs and Cake for Shabbos

Eli Weiss joined us for Shabbos adding a little from the other side of the family to the balance

Ezra went with Bubby and Grandpa to one of the Jewish Museum in Yerushalayim, which included a stop for ice cream.

On this trip, we made sure Bubby and Grandpa went to the airport on the right night and they arrived in plenty of time to return the rental car 'without a scratch'.
