When he saw the candles for the menorah Asher started singing Happy Birthday.
Which wasn’t too bad since it is also his cousin Alex’s birthday.
It did take a fair bit of convincing that unlike birthday candles you do not blow out the candles on the menorah.
And he wasn’t all that in to wishing people a “Happy Hanukkah”. He settled instead of “Happy Birthday for Hanukkah”.
Nana came over for the lighting of the candles and also gave Asher some very cool stackable people that his mom and dad loved playing with and that he loved knocking down. We also skyped with Bubbe, Ravi, Alex and Jordan; and Asher belted out his rendition of "Dreidel" - which is mainly just repeating the word over and over again. Asher drank apple cider “with” Bubbe and they “cheered” through the computer. We all got to sing Happy Birthday to Alex and Asher had a great time helping her blow out her re-lighting candles.
Not to worry, he got it figured out.

Sounds like a really fun night!!! The girls and I made potato latkes and celebrated with sparkling "wine." Good times!
