Today we spent pre-Passover and the first seder with some of our best friends in the world and met some new great passover buddies as well! My kids love my bestest friend's kids... seriously, my almost three year old Jonah will tell you he "LOVES" all three of them - doesn't matter that they are 13, 11 and 8... I am so happy about this. So we were at their house early this morning and spent the day "carrying on" in every way. It was plain fantastic. I met "A" in 1990 on a plane going to Israel to spend my year abroad at the Hebrew University and tonight was evidence that we were supposed to sit next together on that plane! Thank you A and family for one of the best Passover seders! We will always remember it and the food was delish. We used my "Heather Haggadah" and I led the wacky crazy extremely participatory seder. A and her family did all the hard labor, cooking, setting up, etc. I usually do that, so I know how hard it is. Again thank you! The guests were fun and totally into it! From the grandmas, moms, dad, unlces, aunts, cousins, kids and even Uncle Greggy everyone seemed to have a good time and I had a blast! We are back at the hotel and exhausted. Here are a few choice pictures to show you how great our day was!
