\t\t\t\t\t\t Hag sameach (happy passover) everyone.. ok, it’s a day early.. but we decided to do our seder tonight since Gabe is going on vacation tomorrow with his friend Alex. <\/p>\n

We all met over at Hannah and Dave’s around 6:30. They have the coolest house.. it’s down a long dirt driveway.. It looks out over the Brown’s Trace River in Jericho<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n
We walked down to the river to check it out.. It was still near flood stage..<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And still quite cold !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I got a cool tour of all of Hannah and Dave’s artwork. they have some cool stuff like this.. All of it made by freinds of theirs. This was one of my grandfather Dave’s favorite expressions. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

One of Hannah’s friends made all of this cutout art. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They bought tihs picture from Max’s friend Chris at the Friends of Sam auction in December. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And they made this Warholization of a picture of daughter Adah. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And of course, tehre is Sam.. they said that this picture always wants to hang at an agnle.. nothing they can do to make it stay straight !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And a drawing of Hannah’s dad’s Bar Mitzvah. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Then it was time for the seder… We even had Grape flavored matzot ,<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And the obligatory Maneshevitz <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Hannah put out the ceremonial seder plate.. We had a plastic chicken in place of a shank bone.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And xeroxed Hagadot <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

At last it was time to start. hannah and I colead the service.. everyone took turns reading.. It was fun. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

We had a special glass for Sam<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And one for Eliahu…<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It was fun\/interesting mixing our families customs.. Hannah’s folks always cover the rest of the food during the recitation of the 10 plaques. That way your food doesn’t get all plague-y.  <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Her family also has egg fights… (We tied) <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I ate a ton of gefilte fish.. bit others only ate it on a dare. not sure why.. I love it !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It was a great celebration.   Nice to be with friends. I was thinking of family here and not here. (Hey Max.. Hey Ma and Pa and Billy and Mary and families…Hey Sam) <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

After dinner the kids all scrawled off to  look for the Affikommen.. Gabe was victorious.. he found the middle piece of matzo hidden in the dish washer downstairs. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

For his troubles he won a cool pair of goggles.. Not too shabby !.. I think we used to get a quarter for finding it. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Afterwards we ate ice cream sundaes like my Mom’s grandmothers family used to do.. and played with the babies. here’s Diane with little baby Senyah . <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And Adj and Andrew’s cute mowhok baby Lilly. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It was a really nice night… … I’m goign to improve on it further by goign to bed now.. G’nite everyone.. Hag Sameach Sam !
