This year, as you have probably heard by now, Thanksgiving and Hanukkah overlapped. This was great for our family as Ben’s parents and sister always come for Thanksgiving, so this year we got to celebrate Hanukkah together too! We had a great time full of cooking and eating and playing!

Fun playing outside with Grandpa Char:

Campbell’s favorite person, Auntie “Bucca”:

Snuggle time:

Sam got to light the candles this year, which he loved. And I got this candle making kit, which was also a hit:

 

Grandma Judi and I made the kids this special Thanksgiving lunch (that I pinned over a year ago on pinterest! Glad I remembered!):

 

 

 

Sam helping Auntie Becca make rolls:

 

The kids’ gift for the first night of Hanukkah–a Clementine tree! It came a little earlier than expected and it was not easy to hide!

 

 

 

 

Sam’s drumstick hat! He made this at school–too cute!
