I just realized that I had been meaning to post a photo of Hanukkah 2008 since the last day of Hanukkah.  Yet another example of time just getting away from me.  I am truly convinced that it’s an age thing – you turn 40 and all goes to hell.  My eyes have also been bothering me.

In any case, back to Hanukkah.  It was very nice this year.  Chloe, as you can see from the photo, loves playing with fire.  The only problem is that we have this miniature menorah – it wouldn’t be out of place in a dollhouse – that has a hard time holding candles.  I think we’re going to have to invest in a new menorah next year.

Sophie’s one obsession during the Hanukkah festivities was blowing out the candles.  We had to repeatedly tell her that such a thing was not possible.  And every time, she’d puff out her cheeks and huff in disappointment.  Oh well.  Life is tough sometimes.
