We had a party on the first night of Chanukah.

<A

digital camera and took these great pictures. Uncle Ari runs the <A
HREF="http://www.well.com/user/ari/klez/index.html"> Klezmer Shack</A> and
we all love Klezmer music here! 
<p>
Simon and Siew Joo and James from next door came,too. It was their
first Channuka party too! James is five months old and has a great big
smile and loves to talk. He and I had a very loud conversation at the
table but we didn't let the grownups know what we were talking about.
That's our secret!

alt="baby in hat"></a>Here I am with the wonderful hat that my secret
santas<A HREF="http://spot.colorado.edu/~harold/" >Becky and
Elizabeth</A> sent me! You can't tell from the picture but it is
bright blue and red and looks great with my new red hearts sweatsuit
and my pink snowsuit! Becky is a "January mom" from Mommy's internet
mailing list. (PS the hat fits fine but it is falling off in this 
picture because Mom just stopped me from trying to get the candles!)
