HAPPY HANUKAH!

source




Its officially the celebration of 8 nights of lights!
On the first night of Hanukkah we went to Dan's parents to celebrate. Why do Jewish holidays alwaysss land on weekdays?? And why do we always have to go to work the next day?? I think we should all be off for ALL Religious Holidays!
Anyway! Back to the celebrating, Dan's mom always makes the best latkas, and Matza Ball soup, soo good! And then we played Draydels (not sure if it has a technical term?) anyway I lost, Dan won. It came down to Dan and his newly Brother-in-law, I think they were both out for blood, the game lasteddd for everrr.

Over all it was fun, I was sad his brother's girlfriend didn't make it =( always more fun when she is there, and we gossip =)

His mom also got us an electric menorah, and Apples to Apples (the Jewish edition) I think we will be breaking that out on Christmas ;)

I got Dan some of his favorite Lindt chocolates, the Dark and Peanut Butter. He got me The Office Monopoly!

Vacation Time!

 Dan and I went on vacation a few weeks!  This is the one part I love about being an adult, You can go on vacation whenever you want.  It feels kinda funny that its not the Summer.
His parents have a townhouse in Mrytle Beach, SC, so we headed down there for a little get-away.
It  was veryyy relaxing.  We didn't really have any specific plans for each day.

We went to a vineyard on Saturday that was super cute! and so much fun!  we did the tasting and then each got a glass of our favorite, and did the self-guided tour of the vineyard.

Luckily the weather was perfect! and we actually spent some time on the beach almost every day.




We also went to lunch one day at Hamburger Joe's, it was soo good, and the prices were Cheap!





We also spent some time at Wild Wing Cafe.  They have soooo many different kinds of wings.  Sooo good!



We bought new fishing poles and hit up the pond across the street.  and caught two little fish.  Don't worry we released them back unharmed!



We always have such a good relaxing time in SC!

RANDOMNESS

1. I love the Holiday Season! I use to say Christmas Season, but now that I date a Jew, I have to be all PC and Say HOLIDAY.

2. I Love the I get to celebrate Hanukkah now! Even if we just really eat Latkas one night, and exchange 1 silly gift, It's fun! I love the challenge of finding cute Hanukkah decorations.

3. I am now reading the Sookie Stackhouse books. I love TrueBlood, and have now decided to read the books. I'm only half way through the first one, and Im loving it. It is definitely different then the show. But so
