Chanukah Sameach

Oy Chanukah! Oy Chanukah! That was how our week started Motty was singing it all the time. That song has now been replaced with his favorite rendition of "Bais Ne'eman" that he accompanies himself with on his brand new keyboard to the tune of "Santa clause is coming to town." He sings so cute and gets all into it, we are kind of embarrassed of our neighbors at this point since it's practically the only thing you hear coming from our house!
Chanukah morning after a whole week of partying and having as much junk and nosh as there was available Miri got out of her crib and first thing went to find her bag of chocolate coins she was deprived of the night before due to the amount of nosh already consumed. She found it and went running to Chaim to open it for her prefacing her request with "it's still Chanukah so can you please open it?" She was disappointed to learn that even on Chanukah chocolate is not accepted for breakfast!
Miri got a gold dollar from her Zeidy for Chanukah gelt. She immediately tried peeling it to eat the "chocolate" it was pretty cute watching her work so hard and poor her nothing was happening!

Mazel Tov!!

Firstly, Mazel Tov to the newest chassan and kallah in our family! Simchie we are thrilled to have you on board. Introducing...Mr. and Mrs. Simchie and Surie Baum!!! That is the refrain we keep hearing at the repetitious mock weddings that happen every day at least a dozen times at our house. Than we get to hear the breaking glass and all the drama that can is part of such an amazing event, and Motty and Miri's favorite song "Hod" Yishama' some days we have a chassan (Motty) or we can have a singer or musician it all depends on his mood. Miri has been designing her own wedding gown since she put on hers for the wedding but she keeps reminding me "I am the kallah, 'cuz I have a gown, and it's gonna be white!" It will be a little busy, full of flowers and very puffy. And her wedding should have flowers. (maybe she wasn't sure if Surie had any!) We'll now that we have the wedding procedure down pat it's time to get to actually know their new uncle that they talk about all day!! We will try to add some pictures.
