Clara and Emma Love Eating Matzah

Daddy drove Mommy, Clara and Emma to the city with him and worked half a day while Mommy took the ladies on a walk. Mommy came back to Daddy's office and the ladies assisted with some tax returns. They also enjoyed a bagel- Emma had hers with cream cheese and Clara had hers plain. They both almost finished a huge bagel themselves! They sat like little ladies in big chairs eating for almost 20 minutes. Mommy was also at the table and enjoyed her salad. Mommy only put a little cream cheese on Emma's bagel but Emma like it so much, she'd finish the cream cheese and say "more cream cheese." Emma was quite a flirt and enjoyed renewing her friendships with everyone at Daddy's office- especially those that let her play with the computer or calculator. Clara wasn't feeling great and was much quieter, but some of her personality came out a little more after she ate. Thanks to Joey for this cute photo!

In the afternoon, Clara and Emma played with Grandma and Grandpa Gornstein at the special table that Grandma set up for them that wasn't near the dining room that was beautifully set for Passover. Clara and Emma enjoyed coloring and playing with toy cars that Grandpa got. They also enjoyed watching some Jack's Big Music Show while sitting on the bed with Grandma and Grandpa.


Later in the day, all of the family arrived and it was nice to see everyone. By the time the seder started, Clara and Emma were getting cranky, as it neared their early bedtime. They both however enjoyed matzah, gefilte fish and some matzo balls. Mommy and Daddy enjoyed the rest of the meal which was yummy (thanks Grandma/Mom Gornstein and co.).


Mommy and Daddy changed them to their pjs and put them in the pack and plays and hoped for the best. Mommy noticed that they were screaming and reaching for each other, so Mommy decided to try putting them in the same pack and play. After only a little screaming, they fell asleep cuddling up right next to each other and stayed that way until Mommy and Daddy went to get them to move them to the car. They did that transition and the one to the house perfectly!
