A belated Hanukkah and another birthday party for Dana

The Moses Family (Ari's mom's family) has an annual Hanukkah party each year with all the adults.  Since trying to coordinate 30 people's schedule is a bit chaotic, the party was a little late this year. But it was a perfect time to celebrate Dana's birthday.

We started the day off by taking a half day off of work to open presents and have lunch at Bubbie's house.  Dana napped through most of the present opening, but once she was up, she enjoyed playing with the wrapping paper and ribbons.

After the afternoon at Bubbie's, we headed over to Aunt Linda and Uncle Arthur's for the Moses Family party.  Dana really enjoyed seeing everyone and playing with her cousin Elizabeth.  They sat together to eat dinner and shared their toys as the evening progressed. We all sang Happy Birthday to Dana and enjoyed some yummy cake and brownies.  Dana was a good girl and got to stay up till 9 PM  (maybe that was the cake that helped with that) so that Mommy and Daddy could stay and play bingo with everyone.  We enjoyed all the yummy food and spending time with our family.
