Family Chanukah Party 2013

I was shocked to hear some of the guests thought my neighbours might find my Chanukah/Christmas decorations a bit tacky!

For the past 20 years, we have had a family Chanukah party for my two daughters and their friends. While I'm sure few of you are interested in family photos, here are a few pictures from the event.

In the early years each family lit its own menorah. However, as the years go by the number of parents has dwindled, while the number of kids has increased...if you can call thirty-somethings kids!

Over the years we have discovered that no matter how much smoked meat we prepare, it always goes...this year we cooked just over 10 lbs!

Claire's RV...it's something she always wanted since she started attending music festivals

She hasn't started to decorate yet...

Yes, that's a blue and white Chanukah bush in the corner.

The best things about Chanukah and Christmas are that they bring family and friends together. We are always delighted to host our daughters' friends and are already looking forward to next year's party!
