Jordan and Sarah and Gigi and Passover

Little pumpkin has not been napping on the weekends so needless to say she wipes out sometimes in between 3 and 4.


Our dear friends Lynn and Jean gave us this put together princess castle that the girls could decorate themselves and it was an ultimate hit.




Dressing up for Passover!!!



The Seder was at our old temple this year which is now a Unitarian church. Nutty usually has it in her backyard but it was way too cold. Nutty was disappointed but really happy it could be at our old temple. The tables were beautiful and the ~50 people were there and very festive!


Delaney didn't sit with us and sat with Addy and Emmi instead.

My uncle Jordan and his wife Sarah flew down from Pennsylvania for the Seder and to introduce his to their 5 month old baby Gigi. Her full name is Genevieve Glass---Glass for Jordan's father, my grandfather Mel Glass. So wonderful.

Mom with her oldest buddies Pat and Lorraine.

Addy and Emmi did a great job entertaining my children.


The kids all looking for the Afikomen.

Baby Gigi

Delaney was so excited to hold little Gigi. Gigi---not so sure. Jordan and Sarah stayed with us and we loved having them. Hate that they were here during the week so we couldn't play with them during the day more. :(


Nutty and a not-so-sure Gigi.

Delaney loved Jordan and hanging out with Gigi. Jordan was getting a little taste of what his life will be like in several years.





Gigi is obsessed with Katy Perry. She was fussing a little bit and Jordan put on a video of Elmo and Katy Perry singing "Hot and Cold" and she instantly got quiet.



Jordan later sent me a video from the airport when they were leaving of Gigi sitting in her carrier and Sarah going to show a People magazine to Gigi with Katy Perry on the cover. Big ol smile. Hilarious kid that Gigi.

Isabelle and Mikey

Maya reads Brown Bear to Olive as she is asleep across the room.
Lynn and Jean's grandchildren were in town and they hosted an Anatole Cheese Party for their friends. The party was about a book with a mouse called Anatole who tastes cheese. The four munchkins at the party tasted all the various cheeses before the guests got there and wrote signs to put on the cheese describing if they liked them or not: "good", "not good at all", "kinda good", etc.....


Delaney was in awe of Isabelle because she is a big girl at age 7.


Some other kids arrived and all of them dressed up in Jean's things and did a little performance around the pool. Delaney was a hit in her high heels and little Maya with her too big flip-flops.



Our good friend Jean came over to visit while her grandchildren, Isabelle and Mikey, were in town. Isabelle is 7 and Mikey is 5. We had a play/pizza date and Maya took the opportunity to corner a grandma and have her read Hop on Pop...a new favorite.


Mikey was too cute with Maya.


Delaney loves her new BFF Isabelle.



Delaney and Maya sing "Tomorrow" with Isabelle, Jean's granddaughter. I think Delaney wins out on drama queen on this one.
The kids were too adorable together. They watched Rapunzel on a little reader.
