The candle holders were my Grandma Garner's. They will provide great memories as we do this each year.
We had a fabulous evening celebrating Passover tonight. Kevin had a whole script that he shared and we had set parts to say and words to repeat. The kids really enjoyed it and all of us learned some new things about this Jewish tradition. We made herbed leg of lamb, potato pancakes, matzah, and arabic cucumber tomato salad. The kids loved the game of hiding the matzah and then getting to find it (up until Bryson and Kaitlyn had to fight over who found it first:). Alyssa loved having her part (the line that the youngest says) where she had to ask why we had matzah and not bread. Kaitlyn was the one privileged to open the door and let Elijah in.
Months ago Kevin read a book that got him excited to have our family celebrate passover and learn of these Jewish traditions. He used the book to put the script together and plan the meal. The book is titled "Celebrating Passover" by Marianne Monson-Burton.
Thanks Kevin for creating another wonderful family memory! You are the bestest!

Shabot Shalom! I love it!!!
We were talking about Passover in Sunday School this week - that sounds so fun to read a book about it and then celebrate it. And I love the candle holders - beautiful and sentemental.
oh my gosh so cute! kaitlyn's hair is short I love it!
What a fun tradition. I am so impressed that you made all the right food for it (that is the part that scares me). I love Passover and think it is such a beautiful, symbolic tradition.
What a beautiful table. What a fun little tradition. Nice thing to teach the children.
