And another holiday...
We even have a family Hanukkah party Thanksgiving weekend, regardless of the date. More family time! Ellen's enjoying wearing a kippah and waiting for her dessert.

A family affair
Thanksgiving is a chance for us to pack in months' worth of family time. Ellen gets a little baking in with her mother and grandmother.

Quickfire challenge
My brother and I helped out with a lot of the cooking and prep for Thanksgiving this year, as my mother wasn't feeling well. We both fancy ourselves top chefs. Here's Scott putting the final touches on his pumpkin mousse dessert.

Er... is this supposed to be a kosher manger?
My home town in Chicagoland has a public Christmas display and a public Hanukkah display. You can guess what the demographics are.

Touching down
Passing through Minneapolis on the way to Chicago. Just a few minutes in the airport monorail is all I get for a visit to my old home.

That's not right
This is what Target is selling as "holiday milk." Remember, America has no obesity problem. We might have a vampire problem, though.

Black tie affair
Our elementary school has a formal charity auction. Quite an array of prizes, too. We bid for and won a "date night" package that included dinner, a movie, wine, and babysitting by a Rose Parade princess!

Check off that milestone
Ellen's first list! She wrote it herself after asking me what we were going to do during the day. Making lists is a family obsession. I'm proud to have passed this down to her.

Hanging out
Ellen hanging out in the kitchen one afternoon. I don't know why I took this picture. The paper fish on the wall behind her was her costume for her big preschool play.
