All Dressed Up and Someplace to Go

This past weekend, Ora's family had a BIG family occasion- it was my nephew's Bar Mitzvah.  But this was a kid who thought that he was going to "fail Bar Mitzvah".

Max most definitely did NOT fail Bar Mitzvah (now abbreviated BM).  He did a FANTASTIC job.  I was so proud and was proud for my mother who died last year. 

He did a great job, and I had tears in my eyes a lot of the time kvelling (being proud) and thinking about my Mom who would’ve loved everything this weekend.

We started out at a Friday night family dinner at a nearby hotel. It’s a good thing that I like my sister-in-law’s family, since there are a lot of them.

We got dressed for services and my kids certainly clean up well.

 

 

 

 But the evening was when we really got going.

 

 

 

Rosie and I spent a lot of time on our hair and make-up.  Zeyde and Abe looked dapper.  And we were ready to go to the party at….. Fenway Park.

 

 

 

(I’m glad that I don’t have to pay that electric bill!)

 

 

 

 

Pictures with BOTH Red Sox World Series trophies were a high point for the kids. (There was a guy there whose job was just to sit and watch the trophies while people were milling around them!)

 

The party was a lot of fun and we didn’t leave until just before midnight.  The festivities continued with brunch on Sunday at my brother’s house.  Oy, am I tired now!
