Happy Chanukah, then and now...

I love Chanukah. Last year, I was mesmerized by the candles. But this year, I'm bigger. I walk, I talk, and - most important of all - I have teeth.

Which means, this year I can bite and chew and TASTE the holiday. Yumm, potato latkes (thanks, Abuela!) Mmmm, chocolate Chanukah gelt (gracias, Mama!) Chanukah is delicious. The candles are still pretty amazing, too.
