Having just returned from a wonderful trip to New York and Boston, we were really feeling the love from our East Coast family. As we got ready for Hanukah to start, we also felt some serious love from our West Coast family, too: hours before the first night of Hanukah, EIGHT gifts arrived from Cousin Carson, Aunt Liz, and Uncle Mark from Seattle!! Wooweee!!
Of course, we’re only opening gifts one night at a time (those are the rules!) but Hanukah got off to a great start and we really felt the love of family even though there aren’t many of us here in San Francisco. Aunt Debbie called, then pulled out the Menorah that Aunt Rachel, Uncle Brian, and the Koplow family had given us in years past, then we sang the Hanukah blessings with Mimi and Zayda on speakerphone, and finally we opened a gift from Cousin Carson!
We just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone for all of the love from across the country. We hope you are having a wonderful Hanukah and just wanted to let you know that we appreciate and miss you!
Cousin Carson’s gift on the first night was a yellow Kazoo (which matches one that Cousin Carson has)!! Avi, of course, loved it and, since we couldn’t get him to put it down, we took a video of him playing the kazoo. Thanks again, Cousin Carson, Aunt Liz, and Uncle Mark!
