We your family lives far away there is absolutely nothing wrong with adding a 9th night to Hanukkah. The menorah wouldn't accommodate, but if you drink enough wine before lighting the candles, it's hard to count them anyway. Gathering with the family allowed the kids to participate some historic reenactment - pyramid building - a traditional Hanukkah activity.
I would be remiss if I did not apologize for tainting the festivities by my children stealthily (and entirely unknowingly) transmitting a rather vicious stomach bug to half of Baltimore. Sorry about that, everyone.
