Stringing up the Hanukkah yo-yo's

And Hanukkah has arrived here at the house. Just in time too, apparently one of the other Jewish parents from Ezra's class is coming in today to make latkes and play dreidel and talk about the holiday. DH ended up hanging around to read a Hanukkah story to the class. Tomorrow is Divali with another parent. I think. Definately the Divali. Not so sure about the parent part.

Here are the yo-yo's in their place of honor. DH was worried about them looking a bit "garland-y" and therefore Christmas-y. I think they look great though and so does he now that they are in place.















Here is B helping decorate the sliding doors.





















And here is one finished sock and one on the needles for Z for Hanukkah.

















And a shot of the nature table moving into winter. Note the olive tree wands and the little mouse on the wood.
