In Israel, on the last school day before Purim, students come to school in full costume. This is "Elisheva the Princess" - who finally gets to put on the wedding dress and hair extension that she has been waiting so long to model for everyone. Crown and scepter sold separately.
Ezra was "A Saba". He was so cute delivering Shalach Manos around the building hunched over with his cane. He had to do it all by himself, because Elisheva was in bed all morning. We have a few elderly people in the building that actually look something like this and hopefully they enjoyed it in the spirit of Purim.
Ezra turned 5 and Elazar turned 1 this week; both with private ceremonies to mark the occasion. For Elazar the family went out for Pizza and had Bubby's alternative "fly a cake" brand zucchini chocolate cake (it tasted a lot better than it sounds). For Ezra we sang happy birthday at Seudat Shlishit with a few boys from Yeshiva over and had ice cream.Elisheva received her Chumash in school and we hope to upload a picture of that soon.
Everyone is now off from school/yeshiva, etc. and are making Pesach preparations. We were hoping to have both Uncle Josh and Cousin Eli for seder, but they decided in the end to say "L'shana HaBa B'yerushalayim" at the seder from New York instead of Har Nof.
