thankful#47: the opportunity for the girls to be exposed to different traditions

last week we were invited over for an evening at our friends' place to celebrate a night of hanukkah. abbey and tony had a menorah for each family and the kids got to choose and place the candles to be lit.

as they lit the three candles for that evening, abbey sang a beautiful prayer in hebrew

she then gave each of the girls a draidel and showed them how to spin it.

we may have a couple of gamblers on our hands ...

luckily, i don't think kinsley realized that the coins were actually made of chocolate

and even dagny got in on the fun.

we really are in a unique situation down here that is turning out to be such a blessing. thank you, abbey and tony, for bringing us all into your home and teaching us about a small part of your traditions!
