Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah. Sydney was so excited to get home and light the candles today so that she could open her first present! I have had a stack of presents for her, numbered 1 through 8, on the floor of my office for over a week and it's been absolutely killing her to not know what's inside!
So we lit the menorah and she finally got to dive into the first of many gifts to come. She was delighted to discover a Hanukkah plate, cup and placemat which she used for dinner tonight and asked to use again for breakfast tomorrow morning.
No sooner had we lit our candles than we hopped in the car and drove over to Bubbie's to share a special first night of Hanukkah with Sydney's newest cousin Avior.
We enjoyed latkes made by Auntie Elaine and Sydney was thrilled to get another gift, a Disney board game!
It was a very special first night!
This afternoon Sydney and I, along with her buddy Leo and his Mom Marcy, went to the premier of the movie 'Frozen' at the International Village Cinemas downtown.
What a fabulous movie it was! Sydney is still working up her stamina to sit through an entire movie but did well considering it was two hours long! It was a fun way to spend an afternoon and a special treat for the first day of Hanukkah.
