Matza Baker Extraordinaire!

Tonight we went to Temple Beth El for a preschool Passover event which included decorating hats, making matzo (which was messy for both L and Daddy), and making charoset (L loves anything that involves fruit so this was a hit of course). We even had a Passover story and some songs. L is ready for this weekend to start the Passover festivities, now her parents just have to finish a few small things (cooking, cleaning, etc.)

What a great day!

We are having an excellent visit with Auntie Lauren and Uncle David. This morning we went to the Natural History Museum in D.C. L was a big fan of dinosaur bones especially the triceratops. She also likes running around and got to touch a grasshopper (Lauren was not such a big fan).









This evening we had some mac and cheese at Cafe Deluxe (a little messy) and then went to Adas Israel for a Purim celebration. Purim was a big hit since we got to dress up as a belly dancer and make noise. It is sunny and relatively warm in D.C. so as an added bonus we are missing the snow in Rochester. More tomorrow. . .

A new hat. . .

We went to the mall this weekend to get a few new shirts and found this cute new hat! I think people are kidding themselves shopping for spring clothes in Rochester in January, but we could not pass this up.

It's still snowing . . .

It has snowed every day this week, but it is not too cold for some outdoor adventures. It took some work to convince L to go outside but she had a good time once we were out there. L has seen 3 winters now (January 08, 09 and 10) but we are still trying to show her winter can be fun.

Happy holidays!

We have had a nice December so far, sharing several holiday meals with friends and family. Here we are at a party with other moms and kids L's age.



We had a great Hanukah this year. On the 8th night we gave Leila finger paints and a smock. So far this has been fun, and not too destructive :)
