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.

Rivi shows off dance moves in her new tutu.


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

"Gilly, you're next."

The snow is heaven...


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