Oh, What A Night.

Yesterday was a day that Lily has been waiting for, for a very long time. Our friend's daughter Carolina, had her Bat Mitzvah and Lily couldn't wait. She had no idea what it was all about even though we tried to explain. To her it was just something that involved getting 2 new dresses and that meant it was going to be fun. We got up bright and early in the morning and Lily was beside herself with anticipation as she got dressed. We headed to the temple and after we had been there for an hour or so she leant over and whispered to me, "Mommy, I can't wait until the Bar Mitzma", that is what she called it. I looked at her and had to explain that this was the Bar Mitvah. She looked a little deflated to say the least. She managed to stay still and pay attention for the whole 3 hours. Once we exited the temple she came back to life.

Later in the afternoon I told her she had to nap. That is a nasty word to Lily cos she doesn't nap and hasn't for years but she obliged me and slept for 2 hours and when she got up I told her it was time to get ready. She put on her clothes and strutted about like a peacock and actually told us how beautiful she looked. No self image problems in this house!

From the moment we arrived at the celebrations Lily didn't stop. She was the youngest child there by about 5 years but that didn't stop her. She danced, she participated in all the games, she laughed, and she held her own. Jacob and I had such a wonderful time watching the kids enjoying themselves. We danced, no correction, I danced, he doesn't, we had so much fun. I have no idea who the entertainment company was but they were good, really, really good.

After last night I have decided that having 2 girls might be a big mistake. Have you seen teenage girls lately? They are all so beautiful and "mature" at such a tender age. Sure you could tell they were still little girls but holy smokes they looked like fashion models. Jacob is very, very scared and I am right there with him.

See, we had a wonderful time. It was the best party we have attended in ages. Jakie, thank you so much for having us we all had so much fun.

Me and the Mitzma Momma, my special friend Jakie. I am a person who holds my friends close to my heart. I have many acquaintances but I can count my friends on one hand. Jakie and I only met about 5 years ago but something just clicked that fateful day and we both felt we had known each other for years. Maybe it is because she is shorter than me....that doesn't happen often. In this photo I took my shoes off and she has 3 inch heels on!!!

It looks like you all had a great time at the bat mitzvah. THe pictures are fantastic. BTW, it looks like Lily wanted to climb into the chocolate fountain too. That strawberry looks yummy.

How lovely that Jakie invited you all to partake in the candle lighting ceremony! What a wonderful way to celebrate a special friendship!

Life with JJ, Starr and Spice said...

Looks like a wonderful evening. Years from now Lily will be invited to a B'nai Mitzvah - That is one for two children - Katie Starr and Ethan!!

BTW, That is what Marc does for a living - he entertains at these types of events so you know it will be one hot party!!

This year is already shaping up to be a really great one for you.

What a wonderful party! Having good friends is better than a chocolate fountain...but don't tell Kerri that. She still thinks chocolate is better than anything!
