WOW! What a day!!!
Get ready...it was jam packed.
We got to spend the entire day in our pajamas...does it get any better than that?
First thing this morning we got our tickets punched, and hopped aboard the Polar Express.
Definitely can't watch this frozen tale without yummy warm refreshments.
Hot coco and popcorn!
Then wouldn't ya know it Santa came to visit!!!
We each got to sit in his lap and tell him our Christmas wish.
Finally, we had a very special visit from Alex's grandmother, Savta.
She came to teach us all about Hanukkah.
Alex's Aunt Polly read us a story that taught us the history of Hanukkah and how they celebrate it now.
We each got to look at the menorah.
Then Alex gave us each a dreidel and some gelt.
Each student has a set of instructions in their bag, so they can play dreidel at home!
Ava is already pretty good!
I love this sweet family so much, and really enjoyed getting to meet some of the extended members.
Thank you SO much for sharing a part of your culture!
Oh...and we ended the day with a special treat form Alex's family...donuts!
We learned that during this holiday it is customary to eat foods cooked in oil, so this was the perfect sugary snack to end our CRAZY (but oh so fun) day.
