This past week has been filled with lots of Chanukkah celebrations in our house. We have celebrated with Sydney each night of Chanukkah by lighting candles, singing songs, and she gets a present each night. She is LOVING that part!
Then on Saturday night of this past week we were fortunate to be able to celebrate with Sydney's Aunt Cassie & Uncle Scott, and her 2 little cousins, Alissa and Taryn. They came over for a pizza party, candle lighting, present exchange, and then we capped off the evening with a trip to our local zoo for the light spectacular. It was a cold but fun night out.
Sunday had Mom-mom & Pop-pop and Aunt Anita over for another Chanukkah celebration. Sydney loved it! She ate lots of latkes and other yummy foods. She was blessed with all that she received in the way of presents. It was crazy! so many new toys and such to look at that she didn't know which direction to turn first or what to play with first. I think she is going to feel like that for quite awhile. Each day she is gravitating toward a different new toy. It's fun to watch her discover a new toy and how it works. Some of her favorites so far are the little tykes etch a sketch (Aunt Martha & Uncle Saul sent up from NC), her Dora doll & stroller from her Mom-mom & Pop-pop, and the remote control car that Aunt Anita gave her. I am not sure who likes the remote control zoo car more though, Sydney or her Daddy!!
Then last night Ga-ga and Pop-pop came over for dinner and Chanukkah celebration and we had lots of fun visiting with them as well. More candles were lit, more toys were given. And the hit of the evening was the Cozy Coupe Car. Sydney could barely wait for her Daddy to put it together. she just wanted to ride in it from the moment the pieces came out of the box. For now she will have to be satisfied riding in it in the house until the weather changes a bit.
Today she "parked" it in the center of the family room, got her sippy cup, her fruit snack, and sat in it with her feet up on the dash watching her Dora DVD on the TV. I think she thought she was at the drive in movies! Such fun.
We still have a few more Chanukkah celebrations left before the holiday is over. Sydney sure is one lucky girl.
Here are a few pictures from the festivities:
