Passover

We celebrated Passover with Mimi, Poppop, Judith and Anneka's family again. It is becoming a tradition or at least second annual. The girls managed to master the art of relaxing as you are supposed to do this holiday. This is the only moment they were actually sitting still, well except when Popsicles were served (in our version the Jews in Egypt got Popsicles once freed).
As we ate dinner they ran and screamed and played. Masks were donned to represent the plagues. This portion of the Passover story was told gently so as not to disturb the young ones listening however this old one is just as disturbed by the story of pestilence, frogs and boils.
