Hanukah, Bar Mitvah, and a little Jew in Chicago

We made the trek out to Chicago to attend Dan's cousin's Bar Mitzvah. It was a big 3 day event, including Hanukah, birthdays, religious services, and lots of eating, drinking, and dancing. We often had to leave the services (as Joe was pretty talkative) and we'd hang out in the temple's lobby. Joe's favorite hang out spot was the coat room....which was full of fur coats. Joe would say "woof" then pet and snuggle each one. I think he must have missed Lulu. We even had a speaking part in the bar mitzvah ceremony, where we said a prayer (fortunately in English). A fun, full, and wild weekend. A first for Joe and Jill.
We're glad we are home :)


Little Jew....kicked out of the temple (not really)
