The 2nd night of Chanukah was thanks to Erin's grandparents. Bubbie & Zaydie (my father & stepmother) and Grandma & Grandpa (David's parents) sent her the Razor Spark scooter she's been begging to get. Her last scooter got ruined, & she had really been asking for this one for a long time. Erin had been hinting at this particular scooter almost daily for the last few months.
David surprised me with another gift also. I really enjoy scrapbooking even though I haven't done more than 3 or 4 pages since school started. A few months ago, one of the magazines I get made mention of a new book that has a gazillion suggestions for journaling & card making. Not only did I get the book, but it's autographed by the author!!
All of this aside, my favorite part of the evening was allowing Erin to light the candles on her own. She has been asking to help me for days, & I thought it would be fine. When it came time to actually light them, Erin reminded me that I had said she could help me. At the very last minute, I decided to let her light them on her own. I've been lighting the candles since I was her age. Now it's her turn.
ARGH!!! Blogger isn't letting me upload pictures!!!
Sorry!!

Oh wow, letting Erin light the candles on her own (gulp). I remember she was a toddler when I first met her back in 2004...and to think she can now light the candles all by herself...as delighted that I am to see her grow up so beautifully, I can't help but get teary eyed thinking just how far she has come, and how fast the time has gone by. Wishing you all a very happy Hanukkah!
