Nili is part of my life today but I think of her daily especially with the Holidays here.<\/p>\n<p>Next week we celebrate Hanukkah and this year it falls on the same day as Christmas. For Nili it will be her first with me and I plan to make it very special. She already got her Christmas presents and her Hanukkah present she will get on Hanukkah. We celebrate Hanukkah for eight days so I am going to do the way I did with Layla, give her something new or extra yum every day. For those of you that do not know Hanukkah is the festival of lights and we light a candle each night till our Hanukiah has all 8 candles lit. \u00a0The story about Hanukkah in short is that the Maccabees found oil for one day, but it lasted for eight days and that is why we light the eight candles.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3237\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3237\" class=\"wp-image-3237 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/laylaswoof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Untitled-design-900x500.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3237\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The lit Hanukkiot at the party last week<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3238\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3238\" class=\"wp-image-3238 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/laylaswoof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/@LaylasWoof.com_-900x500.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3238\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hanukkah Sameach Everyone with love from Nili<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Nili killed her Hanukkiah BOL<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I don&#039;t like this music, Nili\" width=\"678\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ddGTqJfFjNM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Another tradition is to eat oily food, so we eat Sufganiyot (Hebrew for Jelly Donuts) and latkes (potato pancakes) so I am going to share with you the latke recipe I used to make for Layla but I have adapted it this year using oat flour instead of regular flour.
