  We're expecting a foot of snow here in Maine today, and when Max is done making his snow angels and his snowmen and burying himself with a "Mommy, try to find me!," he'll come bursting in when the sun goes down to help me light our menorah, and then he'll open his presents. I already know what his present to me is: an adorable reindeer made out of popsicle sticks and puff balls. He's getting a telescope, his beloved Bakugon creatures and Pokeman cards, a stuffed Momo and Appa from the TV show we watch together every night (the super wonderful The Avatar), books, and a magic beads set. 

In honor of the holiday, I'm also making latkes. I'm the worst cook, but potato pancakes are hard to mess up.
