Maile helped us light the menorah ...
... and then she opened her very first Hanukkah present - a book from Grandma Jill and Grandpa Mike
On Friday night we celebrated Hanukkah for the first time with Maile girl. Our original plan was to celebrate with Maile’s friend, Wills, but unfortunately they got stuck down in Palo Alto (yep, Maile got stood up!) We called an audible and celebrated with just the family (and then we actually did a second Hanukkah for Dan, Esther and Wills when they arrived a little later).
Maile seem to like the candles and she really liked eating the wrapping paper off her gift (and then later the gift itself). Daddy did his best with the prayer – although Dan and Esther put him to shame when we did round 2 with Wills. Luckily, Maile was already asleep so as far as she knows, Daddy is the best at the prayers. I’d be remiss if I didn’t add, that Mommy made some truly excellent sweet potato latkes!
See below for a video of Maile’s first Hanukkah – we hope everyone is having a great holiday!
