Home for the Holidays

We made it!
I don't have a camera, so I missed pictures of the flight home, but it could not have gone better!! Aside from the 3 hour delay that we didn't know about until we got to the airport- everything went smoothly. My 2 little loves were perfect angels. Levi slept the entire day of our trip, only waking to eat, and Emma was all smiles, playing, dancing around the airport, and super excited for her own seat on the plane! It was actually fun to sit next to her on the plane, she was quite entertaining.

We spent the last 2 days with the family going to services and celebrating Rosh Hashanah. We had 7 adults and 5 kids at temple, quite a group, and once again, the kids behaved perfectly! Emma, Levi & I walked to temple with Saba, surviving the intense heat outside. Emma loved watching the men blow the shofar and she especially liked going up to the bimah with Bubbe. Other than that, she snuggled on us, read books, and colored. Levi slept the entire time. I like to say he was showing off- everyone came up and said how well behaved he was. It wasn't until we got in the car to head home that he started screaming at the top of his lungs!

And then we came home to relax with the family and eat dinner. She was so excited to play with her cousins that she skipped her naps, and I realized at dinner when she wasn't eating and was nearly falling asleep at the table, that not only was my poor baby tired.....she had a fever too! Poor girl, and yet, so happy all she wanted to do was play!

Cousins.

Emma picked up the dumbbell, started lifting it up and down and said "I'm doing exercises". Followed by "strong girl".

Our friend Morgan joined us for dinner. She & Emma loved playing together.

Is there anything sweeter?
