(Also some of thee adults had fun, but that was b.c watching amber is a lot of fun - shes really really cute. So is shelby, but amber is almost 2 so shes a lot of fun. she knows my name, even tho she can't say it. When someone goes, "Where's Atara?" she points to me. i love her so much!!) then we had chinese for dinner. after dinner, my dad, zaidie and i drove to providence to pick up shifra from the bus station. we ended up being about half an hour early, but it was ok. when we got home, she unwrapped her oil menorah, and watching her light it was a whole production (we've never had an oil menorah, so she showed us how.) then we all just hung out and made some food for shabbos and talked. fun fun fun!!!!!
