Passover in Madison Part 1

Sarah called for a Seder in Madison and people arrived from both coasts for the event. She further arranged for the Seder to take place so that Nils and Debra could be part of it via Skype, and not have to stay up till 3 in the morning.

        Melanie and David arrived on Friday to be picked up in Sarah new Mini then off to the house to mellow out with Max till Alex arrived and we went off to dinner.

 
  The next morning  was chilly - oh yes and a bit of snow flew, but Noah wanted to go out.  After two playgrounds, extensive bird chasing and exploration David started getting pretty cold.  Noah didn't care.  We won't expand on what Saba had to say to finally convince him to come in.

Later that Saturday, Rachel and Chad arrived after they pilgrimage from Boston with Eva and Noah.  Ellie and Sue also arrived from Trumansburg.


     As you might imagine, there was much holding of children.

During all this of course was the issue of preparing food for Monday.   The kitchen stayed pretty busy the whole weekend.  To keep Max entertained  we borrowed a neighbor to come over and try to wear him out before things got really crazy.

 


Little did they know, but there was a surprise was a surprise party held that night after dinner for Sue and Ellie.   That came off without a hitch.

There was much laughter and yes, I think the first of the Champagne appeared.
