Thanksgivukkah

Hanukkah falls very early this year.  The start of Hanukkah coincides with Thanksgiving, prompting one wicked smaht Bahstin woman to trademark the phrase "Thanksgivukkah".  Only in America, right? 

Well, here on our homestead we started the celebration even earlier.  A big box arrived via UPS.  The kids looked at it for days, convinced it was for them.  When we asked Ashley why she thought it was for her, she pointed to the "babies" on the box.  Kid had a point.

After the kids went to sleep we assembled the gift, all 120 pieces of it.  Took a while, and we went to bed pretty late.  The next morning, as the camera rolled, I finally understood why parents stay up late at night to do these sorts of crazy things.

Adam was the first one to see it:



Ashley wasn't far behind:

When I tried to get some final comments for the camera, this is all they could muster:

Wow!
