Happy Chanukah!

Check out the awesome yule log Z and E made!
Chanukah was a little different this year. For one, no one could figure out, or maybe remember, when it actually started. No one here might just have been me, but it was a little discombobulated. Aunt Whitney came in clutch with awesome, perfectly Chanukah sized presents each night. I was also recovering from COVID, so the first night festivities were definitely muted. And we spent more than usual time with The Tobiases, since Avrom was also recovering from COVID and they had expected to be on an Iceland adventure, but were folied by illness AND weather. Unrelated to Chanukah, we started a nice sosltice bonfire tradition.

Winter Concerts

Amity is in both choir and orchestra, but the cello pics were better, so that's what you get to see this time. She had a solo (really a duet) and has generally been killing the arts (in a good way) all trimester.
Zara is also in Orchestra (and the Honors chamber group subset, Counterpoints) as well as both the treble voices a capella group (Treblemakers) and the all voices group (Elements of Sound) AND the honors Choir group. Despite their presence on stage in like 90% of this concert, this is the only vaguely decent photo of them.
As always, the real MVPs of winter concert season are the faithful support parents/siblings/grandparents etc, pictured here ;)
