C has enjoyed all 8 nights of “Honka,” as he calls it. The first few nights he kept saying “Happy Birthday” and tried to blow out the candles, but by the 6th night he could say “Baruk atah adonai,” and ask for a present. He also was very excited when Barkey and Johanna came for latkas and babka, loved getting driedle and mennorah stickers, thought wearing his helmet would add to the festive feel of the week, and had fun opening presents at Mitzi and Grandpa’s. His big present was a kitchen. T got many tiny presents for a tiny baby.
