Passover 2011

Going to a Jewish preschool meant that this year, Passover was an especially exciting time for Chase. I don't think I've seen him this excited about a holiday since Christmas (ironically?), which is saying something.

In addition to our traditional family Seder, this year we were treated to a preschool style Seder in Chase's classroom. The kids had learned special Passover songs and made crafts, and their families were invited to participate in a special service and Seder.

It was adorable to see all the different crafts and props that the kids had made, and to watch them retell the story of Passover through songs and dances. They were so proud of themselves, and Chase has continued to sing the songs he learned at every opportunity, and for anyone who will listen.

As a homeroom mom, it was my job to show up early and help set up the Seder table
