CHRISTMAS 

Ask Ori how many Cappuccinos he had 

on Christmas morning.

   

Kyri meets Papaya, a homemade rag doll.  

I made many of the girls' gifts this year.    

Enjoying Christmas morning.

Season's Greetings

CELEBRATING HANUKKAH

"Thanks Uncle Yali for giving me a lift."

This is the Hanukkah feltboard I made for the girls.

Rivi loves lighting the menorah, she even knows

that the shamash lights the other candles.

Kyri, hypnotized by the candlelight. But what else

is going on in this picture?  I'm not sure.

HOLIDAY VACATION 2008*

First stop: Dubois, PA where we thought

we had outrun the impending storm, only to wake 

in the morning to freezing rain, which we drove through

for at least 3 hours en route to Washington DC.  

While on the road, Rivi drew this amazing picture of Tinkerbell.

In DC: Here is Rivi drawing on the placemat that

the National Press Club sells, laminated, of course

as souvenirs.   

Kyri peregrinates in the Press Club

*Stay tuned, lots more to come

Preparing for the storm

Her dad says, "Ah, the young scholar."

And her mom smiles proudly.

Beauty rest

With sock in hand...

"Watch this!"

"Gilly, you're next."

The snow is heaven...

...but snowsuits, boots, hats and gloves are hell.
