Natalie had lots of company on her foam mat:
Bubbe and Gramps took Natalie out for a walk:
Bubbe and Gramps also brought Natalie some beautiful dresses. Here's Natalie modeling one of them, complete with matching hat. Dressed up all fancy, my little snugglepuppet looks just like a doll!
Aunt Jenny was also in town for stories and cuddles.
Beyond playing with Natalie, we didn't do that much. We took a walk at our local park. We had a lovely Seder Postponed on Friday night. The Professor grilled his salmon, the Crock-Pot king made us roasted root vegetables, Aunt Jenny made gefilte fish pie, Bubbie made a very yummy apricot kugel, and I tried a new recipe. I made roasted rhubarb - deliciously easy, vegan, Passover-friendly, gluten-free, etc. (Okay, it wasn't so vegan once I paired it with my favorite Washington State ice cream. But, the point is, it could have been). No pictures of any of the food, alas, as it was all eaten up before I remembered to grab the camera. Hopefully, a shot of our table will suffice!
(For those traditionalists who may notice something different: we add the orange to the Seder plate in the hopes of true equality and equal participation for all, independent of sexual orientation or gender. We also add an olive to show our hope for peace in the Middle East.)
