Passover 2007

Passover Seder at Mamare & Grandaddys House
Just as the he was told, Gavin is raising his wine glass as we repeated the blessings.
Me, Felix & Jackie enjoying the story of Pesach.
It was very hot in their apartment, so we asked Grandaddy to turn the air down early before everyone arrived for the 2nd day. Here is Grandaddy waiting for everyone to arrive...... in the cold apartment.
