Last week we celebrated the fun Jewish holiday called Purim. If you were to compare it to an American holiday I would say it’s a mash up of Halloween and Easter. We dress up in costume and pass out “baskets” to our friends. After a theme is picked we buy […]
Holidays
Valentine’s Day {2015}
We had a lovely and chill Valentine’s Day this year. We started our morning off with heart shaped cinnamon rolls and eggs. We lounged around most of the morning until Sarah and I decided to paint our nails. During nap time I decided to open my gift of chocolate truffles […]
