a VERY belated holiday post

I admit, I sort of dropped the ball on posting holiday pictures....

We invited our family over for our first Hanukkah party in our new home! We made hundreds of latkes and had everyone bring something, so we had a ton of food, in true Jew style! :)

Thanks everyone for joining us!
