Reminder: Turn your calendar page!

The neices and nephews pictures are SOOO last year, so it's time to flip the page! How could you forget? Sara and Zevi have been thinking about New Year's weekend since last year...but then again, Esther goes by the real calendar in Israel so she might not know these things. I love my sisters and I can tease them the most cuz they're the farthest away! (Green Froggy, I don't want to blow your cover and you might not be as far away...)

Happy Chanukah everyone

Thanks to Shira and Ari I am now part of the Blog.

We had a lovely mini-Chanukah party at Liora's and Orin's today, including a fierce game of driedle. It ended when everyone started to eat up all the Chanukah gelt that was in the pot.

Love, Mom/Bubby/Grandma

Congratulaions!!!!!

Hey Shira, What a surprise I got. Haven't checked my email in a couple of days,and this was just great. Keep up all the great work and go on blogging!!
Have a great Chanukah Everyone!!!!

Regards from Tzefas Eir Hakodesh

The blog is amazing. All of the pics are seriously heaven. (ps sara-I did not recognize Miriam and Mordechai) Hopefully I'll figure out how to post so pics to so that everyone can see how much people grow in seminary and I don't mean spiritually;) I really sorry that I have been so bad about calling and everything but we have a really packed scedule in sem. But you guys can keep on calling me and start sending packages. My roomate gets 4 a week on average, just by the way. Anyways have a HAPPY HANUKAH as danny says after haneiros hallalu and I can't wait to see everyone in Yerushalyim with Moshiach Now!
missing you all tons,
luv me
p.s. mommy and tatty we learnt in Halacha class that you are supposed to give your children (even daughter-in-laws) gelt, increasing every night. If you forget you should at least give on the 4th or 5th night. Just a little general info.

Welcome!

So, whatdaya think? Opinions about the blog are only accepted at this gracious holiday season (later I might not be so appreciative of advice).

Just like the Chanukah candles share their light, so too, we should be giving in our postings. Please contribute your Chanukah experiences and continue to keep us updated on your family adventures to keep our blog active.

Blog slideshow coming soon--please e-mail pictures to me.

Thank you to our inspiration (who's idea was this anyway?) and to our blog consultant...

Luv,
Shira
