Hanukkah

Chappy first night of Hanukkah!

Micah enjoyed lighting the candles. We warned him that they are hot, but of course he wanted to touch the flames. He reached for them a few times, but after one good burn (not serious enough so that the stench of burned flesh overpowered the pervasive odor of cooking latkes) he was happy to simply point and say "hot".




Like last year, he really enjoyed the applesauce, but this time he actually got to eat the latkes themselves.

Apparently they aren't as exciting as the applesauce.

After (and during) dinner, Micah opened some presents from Grandma and Grandpa, which included some of his favorite things: books about animals and choo-choos!! Also, they gave Micah his very first menorah. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!! Watch him try to set it up himself:

Wow - you are so lucky, Micah. They wouldn't let me touch the fire last night... but I have 7 more chances, and I am very good at reaching high places on my tippy toes, so it may yet happen. Awesome video - I can't wait to see you in person in a week and a half!
