Tonight we went over to Ella’s friend Eli’s house for Chanukah. Eli and Ella were in preschool together last year and the year before. Eli is now in kindergarten and his brother Harry is in 2nd grade. We have continued a friendship with their family who we really love. The kids had a lot of fun together and so did the adults. Sunny made an amazing brisket and Liz made terrific latkes. I think I am officially all brisket and latke’d out. Maybe we’ll get some Japanese food for the last night of Chanukah tomorrow night. Ella was dressed as an astronaut for most of the evening and so was Eli.
I took this of Ella after school today. She really looks like a big kid!

Ella, Eli and Harry. They played incredibly well together. Ella reassured me that it was a fake gun.

I love your first picture of Ella. She is gorgeous and definitely very grown up. I can hardly believe that four years have flown by since that beautiful picture of Ella as a one year old you posted yesterday. I never thought of Ella as an astronaut! Looks like she was having a ball. Love you. Mom
