Hanukkah Albany/Michigan

This year we spent Hanukkah in 3 states; New York, Minnesota and Michigan.

We kicked off the celebration in Albany at Grandpa & Grandma's house with Stacey, Josh and Gabriel. Each day Grandma Hillary had an activity planned for the kids, Grandpa Ricky made sure we had dinner plans and of course there were candles and presents. We were also able to see the rest of the family; Billy, Joanne, Jessica, Nadine, Michael, GG Pearl, Rene, & Aunt Barbara.

See our pictures and a 3 videos from Hanukkah here.

After a few days, we headed back to Michigan, with Grandpa and Grandma a day behind us. They stayed with the kids while Miriam and I spent a few days in Minneapolis.

See some pictures of Grandma and Grandpa's 3 days with the kids as well as Grandma's pictures from Albany on the lower right corner of the page in the "Other Lubin Photos" Section.
