First Time In The Snow

Everett had his first time in the snow this past weekend. NYC had a crazy storm on Saturday night which left almost 2 feet on our rooftop! Everett was very unsure about it at first. He didn't understand why he went right through the snow when he tried to walk on it. We tried to just throw him in - but he didn't like that very much. After we cleared an area he sat down and really enjoyed it. Grandma helped build a small mountain and made it into a birthday cake. They both had fun blowing out the fake candle.
All in all it was a good first time in the snow for E!

Hanukkah 2009

On the first night of Hanukkah Everett was unsure of what was going on. We lit the candles and all he wanted to do was blow them out or touch them - of course he achieved both. Each night after the candles were lit we would open presents. By the 8th night we really think Everett understood Hanukkah. He helped Ivan light the candles and then sat there and admired the festival of lights. Such a sweet moment! And then of course more presents!!!!
