Pesach 5775

Pesach means staying up late for the the Pesach Seder, looking for the Afikomen and getting new Yom Tov clothes so we can take a nice family picture

We hope to host Bubby and Grandpa next Pesach in Eretz Yisroel

Cooper's Birthday Party

Baruch Hashem, I was able to make it to Cooper's 3rd Birthday party in Englewood. I was able to leave the Rebbe in Monsey and shoot down to Northern Jersey and return before he even noticed I was gone.

Here is Cooper enjoying my birthday gift

It was nice for the family to all be together in one place. The Bagels and Lox hit the spot. And Baruch Hashem there were no scary clowns or some guy dressed up as Spongebob giving out animal shaped balloons

Tali at Park Zeekeet

They opened up an amusement park in Maaleh Adumim called Park Zeekeet less than 10 minutes away, which along with Ein Mabua and Einot Tzukim are the few attractions we take the kids that are close by

It's not exactly Great Adventure. It's more like McGinnis. But it's still close by and we can take the kids anytime, even after school, and we can avoid the 'madness' of Chol HaMoed and the summer

Here is Tali on the bumper boats with out too many other kids to bump

Here are the boys finishing their laps on the race track

Eli and Esti's wedding

Eli and Esti

The wedding was called for six in Givat Shaul, but we all know how Jewish time works, so Abba took one car into work in the morning, Elisheva took a bus from school and we met up in Har Nof. While Elisheva got ready for the wedding, Abba helped Jessica move into Midreshet HaRova. Elisheva and Abba got to the wedding in plenty of time for the shmorg and Chassan's Tish.

Ima took the other car from Mitzpeh and made it there before us with the other kids. Other extended family guests that we only saw at the wedding included Uncle Alvin and his family. Sivia and her husband, Raizy was also there, as well as Molly and Yechiel, and Shabadoo Somogyi and his Shabadoodim.

Abba wasn't fast enough to get a video of Uncle David's kazatzka, but he's still going strong at his age. He certainly moves better than Abba, although he's not as good as these guys or Henry Winkler for that matter

It wouldn't be a family Simcha without Uncle David doing the kazatzka

Tali stayed with Abba most of the time. Noam was the biggest dancer of the night amongst the kids, Elazar had to be dragged in to dance with Eli. Ezra didn't like the appetizers but he had triples of Steak-Of and was singing along to most of the wedding songs. (I didn't really see Ima or Elisheva much since they were on the women's side).

We stayed way past the kids' bedtimes and everyone got to go late to school the next day. Hooray!!

Noam and Tali got to sit on Eli's lap and tell him what they want for Chanukah
