Mazel Tov!


So I'll start with the whole reason for us going back to the east coast this particular time--Ally's bat mitzvah! Christopher was very excited to say "Mazel Tov" to her when she was all done with the ceremony. In fact, we were at the grocery store today and, in true CJ fashion, he said, "I want some mazel tov, Mommy!" and laughed hysterically. I think he's beginning to realize how funny he is. Anyway, Ally's ceremony was terrific and she did a great job leading the service. We were all very impressed! After the service, it was on to the party! Now, for Christopher, the party could have gone one of two ways. The timing of the party was right during his nap. We were prepared for this but still weren't sure how he would do. So he could have had a meltdown... or not. He ended up with the "or not and then some" option instead. This boy is a party animal! Brian and I are fearful for what our son's college days are going to be like. Anyway, he had a fantastic time, danced for hours, ate fondue and ice cream, got up on stage with a bunch of teenagers, and ran around the room in a multi-colored mohawk. It was phenomenal to see this boy enjoy himself and it looked like the guest of honor and her family were having a great time too! We are so incredibly proud of Ally and her accomplishments and the bat mitzvah and the party were wonderful experiences! Here are some pics from the day:





Still to come... fun in Brooklyn with the triplets! Stay tuned.
