Ella is feeling much better. Today Sunny and I did a family share in her class. We told a brief story about Chanukah, taught the kids about the menorah, sang the dreidel song and then had a few games of dreidel going in the classroom. It was a lot of fun. Hope the kids enjoyed themselves as much as we did. Tonight we lit the candles and the Chanukah fairy brought Ella a gorgeous peacock puppet that she loves. She opened the gift and said, “Oh my god – a peacock – just what I have always wanted.” I asked her why she loves peacocks so much and she said, “Because the feathers are so beautiful mama!”
The vice principal at the school where I work gave me these to give to Ella. Very sweet flamingo slippers. Ella loves them.
A very serious Ella lighting the candles.

Goodnight.
I’m so glad Ella is feeling better. That Chanukah fairy sure knows how to make Ella happy. Love you. Mom
