A long time (two weeks) ago, in a galaxy far far away (at the kids' school)...

I was hugely pregnant and my mother did a Hanukkah presentation for X and A's classroom.  She told the story, had all the kids "light" the wooden and plush menorahs with their candles and flames, showed them a dreidel, and sang lots of songs.  

Here are the highlights.  I've only included pictures of our kids, but mom was amazing at holding the attention of more than 40 preschoolers sitting in a circle.  Go her!

 Asking... something.  I love that she wore my Hanukkah hat. :)

 Ari holding the plush menorah, which all the kids later lit.

 Showing the kids that menorahs come in all different sizes and shapes.  Kitty cats!  (This was my favorite menorah as a child, in case anyone's wondering.)

 And there are train ones, too.

Singing songs.
