Rosh Hashana

Fresh fish - not caught by me...but cooked (as instructed) with the head on! It's ready to go in the oven...

A bit blurry on the details here (ha ha) - Mom serving Ali apples dipped in honey to wish a "sweet" year ahead. Rosh Hashana is the Jewish new year!

The "spread"...with a funky candle to boot! Yummy dinner.

Brendan's favourite - the bread! This challah bread had a ladder and birds on it - ladder to connect heaven to earth and birds to pass along the good news to all the people.

Don't forget the veggies, eh, Kaleigh? The carrots were symbolizing the abundance of the year gone by.

Lego Mania!

We went to BrickCon in Seattle and there was SO much to see - table after table of Lego displays.

This was one of my favourites - the whirlpool was moving and if you looked under the display, there was an Atlantis- like construction...it was fantastic!

This wasn't necessarily Ryan's favourite but he did feel that thumbs up were in order for the many ideas he got from this convention.

Brendan loved all the space ideas that were on display at the third table. Many mixtures of Star Wars and other space Lego.
