Looks like the holiday was celebrated thoroughly! What a great idea to have a Jerusalem meal. Garrett looks like such a big kid in the photos!
Amber, you do such cute, memorable things with your boys. When holidays come along, I always think I've got to remember to go back to your site and see how you celebrated that holiday the year before :-). If you ever feel so inclined, toss up your holiday plans a few days before the holiday. Admirers like me would love to copy your great ideas :-)! You are such an adorable mom.
