Chanukah with the Fam

On the second night of Chanukah, Delaney got the movie Beauty and the Beast Enchanted Christmas. I know this is a bit of an oxymoron but she was quite excited. And Belle celebrates all holidays....I know it.

On the third day of Chanukah Maya dressed in her new Nicole Miller outfit for the occasion.

Chanukah fell right at the same weekend as Christmas this year so the only night we could get together as a fam was Thursday. Because almost everyone was working...we couldn't cook a big dinner so we got pizza from Labrascas. Yum.

Delaney did great with singing the Chamukah prayer while lighting the candles. By the eighth night she knew almost every word.

Maya's big present from Nutty was a ride-on unicorn that made sounds. Delaney of course hopped on it immediately.

Stan and Matt sat and had their pizza before the presents really began. The calm before the storm.

Again....Nana and Matt. The calm before the storm.

Delaney sat in her chair like a princess and allowed presents to be brought to her. She was very gracious though with big thank yous for all and lots of hugs. She did keep saying, "I want another present please!!!"

Maya loved her new doll baby from Nana.

Maya also sat in her chair to open her presents. She is covered by dolls and toys and was as happy as she could be.

Delaney got two enormous stuffed dinosaurs from her Grammy and an enormous stuffed alligator with big teeth that is a little scary. Of course they are all in her room and she sleeps with the alligator. My strange little child.

By the end of the night Maya had curled up with her Raggedy Ann and Andy and just wanted to go to sleep. After a million presents we all wanted to do the same.

 Mom decided to try on Delaney's new Gamecock hat.

It was a wonderful Chanukah and we are all very grateful for the wonderful presents. The girls really seemed to enjoy it and it was so nice to see Delaney watching the candles being lit and singing the song.
