New Years escape...

As we have for the past 12 years, (most of) our gang got together to escape from the world and celebrate New Years eve together.  This year, we choose a gorgeous cabin on Whidby Island (near Seattle).  Maya had such a great time playing with her friends and got to experience her second Hannukah.  We weren't sure how to explain what a Dreidel was or why it brought her a gift though...
