We celebrated Hanukkah lighting the candles, having latkes, playing dreidel and we were able to celebrate one night with Josh’s family. The girls got very excited to light the candles each night, but then also a little scared of the fire so there are some mixed emotions in some photos, but I tried to capture it as it was.

For years I’ve been wanting to get a photo for each night of Hanukkah, but for various reasons it never happened… until this year.

Here’s the collage:

It’s certainly been a school year unlike any other, but just because they haven’t physically been to school this year doesn’t mean I can let the year slip by without some kind of “school” photos. We took them in December because I forgot about it for a while and they will certainly not match the rest of Ellie’s annual school photos, but neither will this actual year of school.

They wanted to match and I happily obliged.
