This set the stage for the celebration. Ben was excited to get not one
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0766
not two
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0767
but three
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0768
video games to match the 3 blazers
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0769
that came for the women around him. This amused those assembled at the table
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0770
as the candles were lit
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0771
and more presents were opened
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0772
including this Hannukah tray
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0773
which served as a centerpiece
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0774
as we opened the hannukah kit
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0775
and Ben took his video games
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0776
to the other room as the hannukah candle holder
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0777
got scrutinized by the elders
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0778
and the fire
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0779
kept on burning.
My plate was clean
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0780
which was cause for Lizzie and Sara
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0781
to celebrate as Suzanne pondered
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0782
bringing on the desserts
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0783
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0784
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0785
to complete the feast.
In the other room, there was discussion
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0786
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0787
of whether Jane's falling asleep
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0788
and Ben's playing a PS2 game
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0789
made it an official Havurah. Seva
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0790
believed and the computer confirmed
../../../Sabbat/2003/12.15-19.03CorngoldHannukah//IMG_0791
that it was. Happy first night to all.
