109/365: being together

It seemed like forever until it was time for tonight's big seder. Sam started asking at 10:00 a.m. when he was going to be with everyone at the 6:30 p.m. seder...ugh! Good things are worth waiting for. Sam, Max & Lola LOVED being with the extended family for the annual big family seder that Pop Ben hosts. It is so great that once year we can all see one another and it is especially important for the kids to learn who their family is and feel a part of something great! This year was no exception! Max and Sam read the four questions in English and "performed" the songs that they learned. Everyone embraced them and any hiding or shyness that takes place upon arrival, turns into hugs and kiss and "when can we do this again?" by the end of the night. Thank goodness for being together
