Levi's First Hanukkah

Hanukkah came and went so fast - as it always does. I am always surprised at how fast 8 days flies by.

BeBe and Granddad gave Levi a fun hanukkiah with his name on it! So for his first Hanukkah ever we lit his hanukkiah each night. Each night we lit the candles, 'opened' a present from us and from BeBe and Granddad (and we took pictures of it all).

Levi was amazed by the candles, staring at them and grabbing at them (since he's really into grabbing these days). We were very careful to keep our distance so he wasn't able to successfully grab at the candles.

A few highlights from our festival of lights.
