| chocolate covered dreidels |
Every Monday in December we have Family Home Evening with our extended family. Our week to host is always the week of Hannukah and we teach the family about the celebration of miracles and finish up with playing dreidel games. This year I learned a new tidbit to teach the family about. Outside of Israelthe letters on the dreidel, Nun, Gimmel, Hey and Shin, stand for the Nes Gadol Haya Sham, which means A Great Miracle Happened There. BUT the new thing I learned is that in Israel the letters on the dreidel are a bit different and stand for the Nes Gadol Haya Po, which means A Great Miracle Happened HERE. That makes sense to me. Anywhoo, for treats normally we just get some doughnuts and make some rice milk Iberian cocoa--nummers. This year I saw an idea on one of the fabulous blogs that I stalk that got the idea from good ole Martha. Soooo, I decided to get my craft on. Then as we were walking thru the Wal-mart on Sat night to get a few last min things we saw the gingerbread man shaped marshmallows...mmmm. Then Aaron thought we could dip those in chocolate to give them pants and a yamika. Well...this is how they turned out...

Earlier in the week I came across
a make your own dreidel out of paper....which gave me the idea...so after I printed it out and enlarged it like 300% ....this is what I came up with...I then filled them with the "gelt" chocolate money, pretzels, choco kisses, and marshmallow men. Thank you
Martha
