The festival of lights!

We went to Anne, Dave and Emily's to celebrate Hanukkah last night. Sally and Amelia were there. Ravendaughter made it as well. What a great time. Delicious latkes. Good humor.

Amelia is leaving for Prague on the 31st for a one-month training to become a teacher of ESL. After that she hopes to get a job "somewhere in Europe." Pretty amazing. The dreidel went on forever, even though we broke all the rules to try to shorten it. Ravendaughter got knocked out early so I gave her my loot so I could watch.
