The other 7 nights

Sophia had a great 1st Hanukkah this year. Every night we let her help us light the menorah, and went around lighting our various toy menorahs too. We gave her a gift to open each night and she seems to like the wrapping paper more than the gift itself! We spent one night of Hanukkah in Valdosta with our relatives, and Sophia got to play with her cousin Julia. At the end of Hanukkah, we had a family party in Atlanta where Sophia got lots of gifts and we had a yummy dinner with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
