Happy Hanukkah!

Our version of Hanukkah has menorahs in front of the Christmas tree....

Here Genevieve has received a gift of dress-up shoes and tiaras from Meme and Saba. I think she coerced them into giving it to her after she found it in their basement (it was intended for someone else). In the next photo she is posing in one of the sets.

The first gift she opened from us wasn't quite as exciting. A new Princess hamper to replace the old Winnie-the-Pooh one. Genevieve's reaction to everything she opens is "I knew it!"...even when she actually has no idea what it is. In this case she decided the hamper makes a great bee-keeper costume.

The second night she was much more excited about her gift from Mom and Dad. One of my friends told me about BellaSara, which is kind of like Webkinz except with horses. I think this is going to be the next big thing for her. She wanted to stay up late brushing her virtual horse, and the first thing she did in the morning was to go online to see her again.
