Bar Mitzvah

Today we celebrated Ben's Bar Mitzvah with him. The service was about an hour and a half. It is the third or fourth one I have been too, but the second one I truly remember. Little things that I forgot... you read the book from right to left, not left to right, and very little English is spoken during the service. A lot of sounds that aren't in English are in the Hebrew language. I followed along in the book, but when 'all' were supposed to respond it was hard to say the correct sounds to say the accurate words, but I tried!

After the service there was a delicious oriental style happy hour with martinis as the alcohol of choice. After we filled up on the yummy Asian food we went in for the sit down supper. We got to pick between fish and Chicken Marsala. I picked the chicken and it wasn't the typical wine based Marsala, I really enjoyed it. Bob didn't like it quite as much because he really enjoys the wine based taste. Lots of music and 'kid' games ensued allowing Ben and all of his friends to play and have a blast. There was some typical (wedding) songs that got the grown-ups onto the dance floor too.

Dessert was a piece of Ben's cake and a fondue chocolate fountain! Yum!

We sat with Bobby&Nikki, Megan&Andy, and Scott&Laura. We had a good time, and now Bob has been to his first Bar Mitzvah and understands the process!

When we got home Morgan and RJ had had a great time with their Aunt Melanie! Thanks Aunt Melanie for watching them, they love you and we really appreciate you helping us out!!
