This year was quite exciting because it was the first year that J could really take part in the Passover Seder, reading along with us and indeed reading the four questions for us to answer.
Last week we found some friends who were willing to celebrate with us. I took a half-day off of work to prepare. The night before I went scavenger-hunting for all of the necessary foods (lamb, matzah, etc). We still had to fudge a few things. I used radishes for the bitter herbs and we had a paper lamb shankbone.
We had masks for the girls to wear to talk about the 10 plagues.
We read about the Seder meal from a book that A picked up. J helped make sure that I had everything properly set out on the Seder plate. We used a haggadah from one of our favorite books on the subject, A Family Guide to the Biblical Holidays.
A also made an excellent dessert which should henceforth deemed part of the official family tradition: macaroons.
A great night of stories, worship, thankfulness, food, and friends. I can't wait to do it again next year.
