Hanukkah

Kai spent first night of Hanukkah and Saba at Savta's house (Keith was still in the hospital). He enjoyed the sufganiot and the candles :)

Santa Train Ride

OK, sorry this post is waaaaay overdue. Most people have probably seen these pics on facebook anyway. I've been busy, what can I say!
Below are pictures from our Santa Train Ride, as well as some Hawthorne parade picture..
Kai was pretty much afraid of all the big characters!!

Blowing water bubbles

Kai discovered how to blow bubbles in his water, and couldn't stop laughing. This was going on way beyond the video--it was so hilarious!!

Thanksgiving 2009

We had a wonderful first Thanksgiving at our new house with our family.  We watched a little parade in the morning on TV, and Kai rocked out to the songs and dances...  Keith made his first turkey, and it came out absolutely beautiful and yummy.  I made a perfect apple pie (if I may say so myself!)--it was beautiful and delicious (a keeper recipe for sure).  Kai enjoyed Keith's homemade cranberry sauce, "riding" his tricycle, laughing and entertaining everyone who clapped for everything he did.  I don't know who was the biggest star--Our chef Keith, or our entertainer Kai.

Kai's adventures at 13 months

Uncle Eyal visited our new house (and Kai's fabulous room), and read Kai his favorite book, Goodnight Moon.

Kai eating a sandwich with chocolate spread (thanks to Saba and Savta).  It made him happy! (and crazy!)

Grandmom and Michael visited, and Michael played music for Kai.  Kai really enjoyed it, and even tried to play himself  :)
