Two Holidays in One

We made our annual trek to Dave's sister's to celebrate Thanksgiving. A good time was had by all, and since Hanukkah is early this year and we were all together, we had Thanksgiving on Thursday and Hanukkah on Friday. Here's an assortment of pictures to enjoy.

Seth and Alex crushed the Oreos for dessert.



Alex loved playing with his cousins. One game was to hide behind the couch while Seth covered him in Beanie Babies.



This post at the bottom of the stairs provided a lot of entertainment. Alex visited it several times every day. Just proving how impossible it is to predict what kids will like.



Less challenging to predict is that the pinball machine was a huge attraction!



Foosball was also a big hit.



Three generations of Diamonds watching Thanksgiving day football.



Max managed to get all the way inside the trash cabinet, searching for some turkey.



Lighting the Hanukkah candles.



Helping Josh sort Legos.



Alex loves his new scooter. (And, boy, is his jacket reflective!)



Happy Hanukkah from the extended Diamond Family!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Alex had to help Dave blow out his candles. The best part was that we had cake for dinner -- what a treat!



Alex insisted on singing Happy Birthday to Dave by himself. That's just as well because I would not have consented to filming if I were singing.

Happy Birthday Dave!
