Hanukkah @ the Reich's

so this year, Haukkah was at dan's house. Im always skeptical of going to things for other religions that i don't understand. I seem to have gotten sucked into aunt gidgets life because i was at her son's bar mitzvah and i was at Hanukkah last year... but i hide my confusion so well. I was thoroughly confused at the bar mitzvah, and very confused last year at hanukkah.. but this year seemed to be a little easier, with less prayers and more food lol. Im not a fan of latka's but wendy made a really good chicken salad so i was able to enjoy good food while everyone else ate salmon. We also had a extra person added to our group, Jill's best friend alex. Oh god did lexi have a field day with him, she barked and growled at him for hours. I just remember the first day meeting that sweet little ruby baby, she growled at me for a few hours too. all day alex would walk in and out of the house, and ruby was growl and bark at him. the puppies did get a liking to him by the end of the night, lukie was being buddy buddy him as well. Idk how i feel about that. Luke and i, were best friends, well after dan and him, but still. i don't share my fuzzy friend. :-) after all the latka's were done, everyone was able to sit down and watch a movie. we all watched dark knight, what a great movie. until everyone started showing up, we had to put the sound level up really high, but all and all it was a great day and night.Aunt sue was able to show up, because the night before joey her pup was sick so she couldnt make it to the farm. I miss going to the reich's and i miss the pups when were at school. you kinda get attached to well all of them after a while :-) i look forward to my visits there.. i was a little upset that i won't get to see mommy reich before heading back to school.... but you know what that means, her and aunt sue will have to make another ri trip again. you never know.
