Happy New Year!

Today is Rosh Hashanah, Jewish new year. Our friends Anat and Itzik and Ilai invited us to Anat's mom Hani's house for a big family dinner... it was all set up outside in the yard and was very beautiful. They were so sweet, they picked us up and drove us there, and wanted to make sure that we would not be alone on the holiday.

There were lots of kids and family, and everyone was super nice! It was baby Ilai's 1st birthday just that week, so we also celebrated that together.

Anat gave me and Ben these pretty silver decorative apples that were filled with sparkling honey candy. Gosh, they were all so nice, treated us like family, and the party was fun and there was a ton of food. I liked the lemon grass tea and the desserts.
