Passover

Yesterday, like every other years since 1991 Mom's eighth grade Sunday school class was at our house to celebrate a seder dinner.  Here are some pictures:

The tables are set and ready to go

Matzah Tasch (three pocketed ceremonial Matzo bag)

lots of good food and fellowship around the table

Things are abnormally busy here, so this will be short and sweet:

Snow hanging over the edge of the roof as things start to melt

David's birthday cookies (He will get a proper birthday celebration later)

This week's photo Friday features pictures from family fun day at Camp Shalom on Monday.  We were there with some alpacas as part of the petting zoo.

This little cutie got to "ride" one of the alpacas.  Riding alpacas is not recommended, but for really little children we sometimes make exceptions.

The crias spilled the grain we had brought along so Cailigh got a snack. 

David was super proud of his calf walking experience.  The calf wasn't so sure about it. 

Photo Friday - Valentine's day

I'm going to try and become more conscientious about blogging regularly.  One of the ways I want to do that is by having photo-Fridays...the day of he week where I post photos from the last week or some other recent event.  If I can come up with cool things to call other days of the week, I might try them out too.  Suggestions are welcome ;)
So this week, I'm going to post about Valentines Day because I have an amazing husband.  He told me ahead of time that he was going to make me dinner and that Mom was going to help him because I doubted his cooking skills.  I shouldn't have because he made me an amazing dinner.  He also told me we were going to have guests for dinner which made me a little unhappy until I figured out who the "guests" were.

Sweet Potato Heads!  Potatoes have played a major part in our relationship and we have 4 Mr./Mrs. Potato head figurines in our apartment, so this was very fitting.  The potatoes are baked and the vegetables are fresh. There were extra "parts" in a bowl for dipping.

He also made me bacon covered cranberry meatloaf.  Honestly, bacon makes everything better, and it was heart shaped.  I love my husband!

I made him heart shaped donuts with pretties on top.  The donuts were chocolate which is his favorite!

I even wrote his name on one of them!

All in all, it was a wonderful Valentines day and I have the bestest husband in the world (sorry mommy)
