Sukkot

We celebrated Sukkot a few weeks ago with a service at my parents house. I was so glad that we did not partake in the annual tradition of visiting the hospital for stitches before the service. I am proud to report that Nathan was accident free this year for the service! The kids were very excited to see everyone and practiced their blessings and songs.

Nathan and Sela have been learning a lot about the holiday in school, and one of Nathan's projects was to make a sukkah from a shoe box. Here he proudly displays his work of art:

Dad's arm was still immobilized from shoulder surgery, but the sukkah looked more beautiful than ever (thanks to his friend for helping) with decorations that the kids made...and Bubie too! Nathan was very excited to see the microphone and wanted to practice his prayers.

Sela helped during the service too - holding the BOX from the etrog! :) At the end of the service, Nathan stood holding the challah plate with Cantor Marge and sang his blessing loud and clear. It was an incredibly proud mommy moment!! I just wish I was able to capture the smile on his face as he sang!Here is Sela getting a hug and cuddle from her Bubie.More pictures from the weekend of my precious kids!
