Before I dive into the lengthy blog about Christmas in VA, I must post the final installment of our Hanukkah celebration. Last night was the last night of the holiday and we celebrated big. We filled the menorah and Finley loved seeing the huge flames as we sang the blessings. He sings along with the first verse and it is so adorable! After singing, it was time to open the final gifts (as if he needed more!) and the first was from Aunt Caitlin to compliment the tricycle she gave him for his birthday.
Yes, his very own astronaut themed helmet that even lights up! He was thrilled to see it and much to our surprise, immediately put it on! Sorry for the blurry photo, but Finley was basically bouncing with excitement.
He then said, "wear it bicycle?" and we headed off to the basement.
He took the helmet for a test drive and seemed quite pleased!
Later, he and Dan came back upstairs both wearing their bike helmets and Finley handed me mine and said, "Mommy wear it?" So we all wore our helmets while I finished cooking dinner--safety first! Thanks, Aunt KK!
Another sports themed gift coming up: our final Hanukkah gift for our little guy was a baseball tee! We cleared some room in the basement and let him try it out. He wanted to use his big orange bat instead of the smaller, thinner yellow one that came with the tee but still seemed to get the hang of it.
As if the kid's life couldn't get any better, his last gift from his GG and Grandpa was a set of drums (that thankfully have an off button and are quite portable). He drummed like a pro right away.
But then, he just wanted to dance with his drumsticks to the funky background music.
Happy Hanukkah, Finley, we had a lot of fun celebrating with you!
