More December fun

Last time Zev had his best friend over to play, he wanted to teach him how to play dreidel.  It turned out his friend knew even better than Zev! 

I missed a picture of our menorah that night because we lit it early so Zev's friend could help.  I did get a picture of the beautiful Shabbat candles that I brought back from my trip to Israel. 

On Saturday I took the boys to a Harry Potter event at the downtown library.   Here is Zev's troll snot... 

Zev also had a glass of tea and had his leaves read in Divination. 

This was the divination teacher.  Zev's leaves looked like a bird, and he will be learning something new and taking flight soon. 

Isaac and the big boys all did a lot of coloring. They were able to make Harry Potter house buttons too.

These are the bow truckle and puff skein that the boys made in Care of Magical Creatures. 

This is a shot of what Tahl looks like half the time I ask to take his picture now... 

Here is a picture of Isaac with Saturday night's Hanukkah gift: Ricky Ricotta books. 

Tahl really loves to take his bowtruckle out on all of our scooter rides now. 

Ari says I bundle Maya up like we live in a snowy place, but she doesn't like to be cold! 

She does however like to play on the dog's bed...

... and open presents! 

We went on Sunday night to Santa's Village.  Here are the boys with Mrs. Claus. 

It's hard to tell, but our favorite house in the village is the one where you can pet puppies and kittens! 

Poinsettia tree picture requested by Zev. 

Here they are riding reindeer. 

Tahl messed up his Rudolph nose and took a few selfies while he was looking at it on my phone. 

Our last stop was the petting zoo. 

Until we randomly saw Frosty on our way out.   Isaac was very surprised. 

Here is Maya on Monday morning having some yogurt for snack. 

And getting into more trouble at the dog bowl. 

We love all the crazy fun of December, so I can't wait to keep celebrating!
