Fun with the Balabans

On Monday we had a lovely visit with Savta and Zeide's friends the Balabans. Vern told us all about their grandson, Ben, and I even got to see pictures of him!

Thanks for coming to visit! Come back soon!

My Chanukah party at gan

Here are a bunch of (older) short clips from my Misibat Channukah at my gan. (Our camera battery was dying so we took alot of short clips instead of one long one.) The party was inconveniently set for all of the babies' nap time (including me!) and I was in a sour mood for most of the party...but Ema and Abba had fun and were so proud!

First we sat and sang a song introducing all the children:



Then we sang a Chanukah song:



Then we sang a song about the candles in the Menorah:



Then we played a game with the rings:



Then I ate the paper sufganiot (jelly donut):

Bath time

This is a video of me in the bath (not wanting to perform :-)):



When I'm in the bath Ema likes to play with my hair. She makes me a mohawk and a big curl in the front and then tells me how cute i am!

Don't you agree?

Brushing my teeth

My Ema caught me brushing my teeth and taking my vitamins all by myself!!

I have 4 teeth now - 2 on the bottom and 2 on the top with more coming soon!!

Walking/Pushing

This is a video of me walking/pushing my music table. I'm gettin pretty darn good!

Just watch!

Family portraits

These are some of the Friedman family portraits that we took when we were visiting Baltimore.

These are all the Friedman kids (from left to right: Uncle Danny, Uncle Ari, Abba, Aunt Aliza, Ema, Cousin Yonah, Cousin Gavri, and me):

A day with Savta and Zeide at the dead sea

Ema, Abba and I drove down to the dead sea to meet Savta and Zeide for a day of fun in the sun!

 

 

 

 

 

Dinner with the margolies's

Last week we went to dinner with the Margolies's.

Forget about the food - the menu's were really yummy!

Thanks, Laurie, for playing with me and bringing me such great books!

So much fun with Savta

I loved playing with Savta while she and Zeide were here!

We had a great time talking and playing, listening to music and reading lots of books together. Come back soon!

It snowed in Israel!

The night that Yoni and Kim arrived, there was a huge snowstorm in Israel! We got 3-6 inches of snow as well as hail sleet and rain.

 

 

This was the view from our back door the next morning

 

Some people were doing this right in our backyard:

 

But this is was what Zeide and I were doing while everyone was clearing the snow and ice off their cars and getting ready to brave the snow:

 

Welcome Home Auntie Kimmy and Uncle Yoni!

On December 27, 2006 my Aunt kimmy and Uncle Yoni made Aliyah! We are so happy that they have come to live in Israel and I can't wait to play with them more often! They were blessed to have a welcoming ceremony in the rain (and snow and sleet), a beracha for all things good to come!

Ema made some signs to welcome the 3rd and last Kra kid to Israel:

Welcoming Yoni and Kim as they got off the bus at ben gurion:

Yoni and I bonded over my bag of cheerios (look how nicely I share!):

We are super-excited that you are here!

 

Welcome home!

My new car seat

Thanks to Savta and Zeide for bringing me my new (really comfy!) car seat!

Lighting candles outside with rach and shmargolies

This is our family lighting candles outside our house with our friends Rachel, Shira and Jon (he's taking the picture).
Check out the view!

It started getting cold out

So I started getting bundled up!

Thanks to Aunt Aliza for giving me Gavri and Yonah's old snowsuit! It's so warm!

Happy Aliyah Anniversary!

On the 3rd night of Channukah, we celebrated our first anniversary of our Aliyah!

Here is a picture from when we went to dinner with Adina, Yaakov, and Moshe who we made aliyah with one year ago!

Mazal Tov!

Pots and Pans

I love taking the measuring cups and pots and pans out of the kitchen drawers!

Standing!

Look I'm standing. You can't see it but I really walk with Ema holding onto her hands and skirt!

Like father like son

Need I say more?

I love the TV and DVD remotes so much that Ema and Abba gave me an old one that's officially mine!
