The girls returned to school today after a two-week absence. They were very excited to go back, and as we walked though the entrance and the halls this morning, they proudly showed off their new watches to every adult they passed. M also showed off her lift ticket – you know, the old “accidentally”-leave-your-lift-ticket-on-your-jacket-so-everyone-knows-you-went-skiing-over-vacation trick. When they got to their classroom, A told her teacher Alyssa that it was “4” on the watch. M was marginally more accurate with her pronouncement that it was “9-4”. (It was 9:20).

Here is a cute video of the girls singing Hanukah songs with Esther and Sophie in Colorado.
