Happy Halloween!

Lots more pictures of the festivities to come, but here are the kids in their costumes.

Picture Day

At Abby's school. This is the outfit she chose.

Halloween Chain

Abby wanted to do a Halloween craft so we decided on a family paper chain. Everyone contributed, and the result stretched across the room!





Here is Abby modeling the finished chain. We hung it in the dining room so we can see it when we eat.

Culturefest

Yes, we do love our festivals. Benji, playing along with the music:


I think he looks good with this washboard. Maybe he should switch instruments:

Round Challah

It is traditional to bake round challah for the high holidays. Abby made a new round challah cover with her Sunday school class, and we used it for Shabbat this week. Here she is standing proudly next to it:
