Happy Chanukah!

Here are a few shots of us lighting the Chanukah candles.

Tonight was night 5.

It's been a fun Chanukah so far, full of dinners with friends and family, a few gifts and even a night out bowling with pals. We're looking forward to what the last 3 nights bring.

If you're wondering about the last photo, by the way, it's my interpretation of what the Maccabee soldiers must have looked like.

Oh, Hot Cocoa!

Oh, Christmas Tree!

Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis

I ran the Running of the Elves part of the Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis a few weeks ago. I did a good job finishing, even though I slipped on ice and was bleeding at the finish line.

We were all so proud of so sissy last weekend. Her pre-school class at The Bellingham Childcare and Learning Center, The Cheetah Room, won first prize in the Bellingham Port Festival's 5 and under category in the gingerbread competition.
