The Hanukkah menorah belonged to my mother’s father.
The mats below were made by Jordan in 1997 and Peyton in 2000.
My mom passed away December 10, 2004.

Candle light is beautiful in any celebration. I am sure the mats were a treasure and still are.

They are adorable mats. The one Jordan made was created 2 months after Peyton was born. I absolutely love them.
