We had seders here both nights and they were both wonderful. The first night, we had Abigail, Ray, David, Jamie, Bronwen, Georgia, AJ and Normyn. Ella had a fantastic time with her cousins. The girls are 4 and 7 and Ella hung with them like she was one of the older girls! The second night, we had AJ, Michael, Jordin, Kevin, Donna and Jay. Ella did a great job sitting at the table during the seder and during the meal. We asked Ella what her favorite part of the night was and she said, “Dessert!” Both nights were really sweet and it was great to be with the family.

Here we are at the piano creating a beautiful composition
Here are the girls in front of a statue that my parents have that the girls re-named “doody head”. Georgia is afraid of this wooden ominous looking man/sculpture so we performed a ceremony where we put Ella’s big girl underwear on his head, turned him around so his tushie faced us, and we called him Doody Head. We later had a ceremony where we de-humiliated doody head and took the underwear off his head.
