How We Roll

For those of you who don't know, Ben is half Jewish from his Dad's side. Since we wanted to get in touch with those Jewish roots, and we actually bought a menorah this year, and we wanted to use the dreidel that Ben's Mom gave us last year, and we like to eat latkes, brisket and matzo ball soup, we decided to have a last minute Hanukkah get together with some friends. It also involved a gift exchange between Ethan and Simon who were more than thrilled to play with the new Star Wars Lego set he got (thanks, Vaiseys). After dinner we lit the menorah and played dreidel with the Mudrick classic prize of m&m's. So, technically Hanukkah doesn't start for a couple more days, but we figured we'd be gone for the majority of the days of Hanukkah so we partied anyway. Because that's how we roll. Like a dreidel...get it?

That's one magic dreidel.
