Dear Sis,
William asked if he could open his gift for the day mid-morning.
He got tempra paint sticks. He is always asking to paint when I am way too busy to assist with such ventures. Now I never have to say no. He has a paint option he can do completely independently!
Naturally, Charlotte needed to open a present too. She got a hand crank music box. It took her a while to get the hang of it, but our little music lover mastered it before day’s end.
After nap, we made a library run to pick up all our Hanukkah reading materials. Then we stopped at a local park to take a walk and collect sticks for a craft we will be making at book club at the end of the month. Can you believe it was 60 degrees?!
William wanted his picture by the painted rock face we found on the trail!
Book of the Night
Each night after lighting the menorah, we listed to some Hanukkah music. It’s an easy festive thing to do that both of my kids really enjoy! We also read a Hanukkah book each night before bed. Tonight’s selection:
Little Red Ruthie: A Hanukkah Tail by Gloria Koster
This is an enjoyable twist on the classic tail of Little Red Riding Hood. This clever girl out-foxes the wolf and manages to uphold Hanukkah tradition with her Grandmother. A fun read!
Happy Hanukkah!
Love,
