Passover/Easter

We spent the 1st Seder night of Passover with Nana Bernice and the family at her house. Nice dinner, good food and great company. 2nd Seder was spent at the Rabbi's house with his family. It is becoming a yearly tradition and one we enjoy participating in. Leah knows Dayenu pretty well now and can sing along with most of it, not just the chorus part.

Being a family with Judeo-Christian backgrounds with personal agnostic/atheist overtones we partake in both sides when it comes to holidays. We aren't religious/observant of any religion at the moment but we still feel it is important for Leah to learn about the cultures and traditions surrounding us. As she gets older we will figure what we will do, if anything. Or maybe like myself she will ask to participate in one thing over the other.

For Easter we spent the day out and about. Leah woke up to find a basket full of goodies in her room. We went to White Post Farms for their Easter Spectacular. We really enjoy the place. Leah loves it. Even though it was a bit chilly and windy Leah still wanted to go. We feed the animals, decorated a goose egg, rode a pony, rode on the train, found eggs in a egg hunt in the hay (Leah loves playing in the hay) and we visited with the Easter bunny.

Afterward we went home for a bit and then we back out to have dinner with Lindsay, Ruth & George at a local restaurant B.K. Sweeney's. Then we went to see what the Easter Bunny left for us at Grandma & Grandpa's house. Lots of goodies there as well. We are fortunate to have such wonderful, generous people in our lives.

Leah was dropped off a little while ago. She went to the train station to drop Lindsay off. She laid down next to us on the couch and now is snoring away. Big weekend for a lil kid.

Pictures :D
