Hanukkah and the Kids' new Favorite YouTubes

Today for home school we learned about Hanukkah and had one of those miracle (indeed, a Hanukkah miracle) activities where the kids sat, listened and gave me hope that home school really can work.

I am not gonna lie, the latkes were amazing. Go make these immediately.


Coloring project!




Someone was ticked we wouldn't let him hold a lighted candle. Ticked.






Though this picture may suggest otherwise, I did not spike this kid's latkes with adderall. Apparently he just likes listening to a story about the festival of lights...




Thanks to Auntie J for teaching us about Hanukkah! 
And now our little present to you for Christmas and Hanukkah, some of our favorite YouTubers.

Somehow, the idea of Cookie throwing a fit and you just sitting there photographing him cracks me up!

Also, I think you should teach them about Ethiopian Jews, just to totally confuse them. But seriously, it's awesome that you taught your kids about Chanukah!

Love it and so bummed we couldn't make it! I didn't know Liz would be there ! The pic of Brady is both heartbreaking and hysterical. Glad you all had a nice lesson!

Last year for homeschool we celebrated Hannakuh too with latkes, dreidel games, reading books about an O.C.L (official candle lighter) for each night, coloring menarruhs, etc. Loved it. Did you do applesauce or sour cream with or both with your latkes? From how yummy the latkes were, I was realizing I might be a little bit Jewish.

Plus Brady looks a lot like you from when you were little in that crying pic.

Oh, that ticked picture is perfection. Perfection.

That picture of Brady was awesome. I love crying baby pictures, they are so cute.

Your Christmas card turned out awesome! I can't believe you got everyone to even look in that direction all at the same time. Congratulations!
