Ella woke up this morning with no fever! What a beautiful thing. It only took about 20 minutes to get her to take her medicine this morning. What an ordeal. I called the doctor and they called in another prescription – this time we ordered chocolate flavor. It’s still disgusting but she took it tonight. Tonight the Kim/Arena clan came over to celebrate the first night of Chanukah and to have Friday night movie night. It was a really fun night. Sunny made delicious clams and we had crab and rice pilaf and broccoli. Dinner was enjoyed by all. After dinner, the kids started drawing and just were having a fantastic time – they didn’t even react to the presents that were in front of them. We did have present time – we gave Stella and Juliet Zhu Zhu Pets and all three girls matching nightgowns. Helen and Ron gave all 3 girls real REI sleeping bags. It was very cute when all three girls changed into their matching nightgowns and got into their sleeping bags. Maybe one day we will all go camping…in a place where the tents are already there. We watched A Bug’s Life and then the beautiful night ended.
A “Happy Hanuka” greeting by Ella. I helped a little with the menorah but the rest was Ella’s.
Sunny was showing the girls this really funny video of a kid playing “I’m Yours”. They were cracking up.
