First night of Hanukkah

 

It's the first night of Hanukkah, time to light the candles.

I'm lighting the first night here. 

Not sure how we managed to get me with my eyes closed both at the beginning and the end.  I guess it's fitting?

Dinner out with Dad - December

 

Dad picked me up after a chess match, and we stopped of at Don's Original for a good burger and the best onion rings in town.

A Booka "Thanksgiving"

 

Well, Mom is sending me off by myself to go pick up Booka

 I think Mom is more worried then I am

But I got this.

And then we got another Thanksgiving Dinner with Booka.

Yearly Couch Picture

 

It's time to get everyone together for the yearly cousins' picture

Let's see how it end's up this year 

A tad overblown, but not too bad.

I mean, I guess it depends on the angle. 

For such a motley crew of cousins

Minus the one who was off hanging out with friends watching The Game. 

But the rest of us made it for Grammie to have her party

So we grab as many pictures as we can 

Since soon we're just going to lose it 

And end up looking like this

Or worse. 

Hanging out at Grammie's

Me and BearBear

 

Mom's Cat is way too cuddly!

Eastman House

 

Time for the yearly tradition, heading off to Eastman House, and looking at the cool gingerbread houses.

Booka joined us this year. 

The main dining room in the house was setup for Hanukkah

 

Another year, another step closer to the top!

Hence, we need the closeup on the next level. 

Behind me is everyone's favorite elephant head.

I mean, Mom is at the bottom, getting a picture of Me and Dad 

Dad and I hanging out at the stairs bottom

We do end up looking quite well. 

Selfie!

This here is a motley crew, huh?
