New Photos- Gedalya 11 months

Here is a new album! Enjoy!

Gedalya 11 months

Playing with my toys!

Abba took pictures of me playing this week! These are them!

...and here's one that Ima took a different day! I didn't even look up for the picture, I was so absorbed...can you tell I love playing?

Giv'at Hatourmusim

Last friday we went on a hike to see tourmusim! They are a unique type of flower which only blooms at this time of year, until pesach!

I had a fun time with Savta and Sabba!

And I loved riding on Abba's back! It was the funnest walking down the 90 degree cliff! Ima almost had a heart attack but we had fun!

Dinner time!

I love when Ima feeds me dinner!

Really I like feeding myself too!

YUM YUM!!!

Helping in the kitchen!

I love helping out in the kitchen! See how happy I am?

First I open the bottom drawer to take out a pot...

Then I ask Ima if she wants something else, like a ladle!

Then I take out a ladle...

Then I put it back and do that a few more times until I get bored! It's fun helping in the kitchen!

Purim D'Mukafim!

We had such a fun day today on OUR Purim!

First stop was Emunah for a seudah...then we went to Amichai and Neriyah's for their seudah...

I had a LOT of friends there to play with! (see Maayan Shochat and Amitai Wachtal in the background)

Amitai brought cups so that just made my day...

see how happy I am?

...then Abba fed me REALLY YUMMY food! My day was complete then and there! But there was more...

We went to Grandmas to drop off mishloach manot and...

SHE GAVE ME A HAMENTASHEN!!!!!

I REALLY enjoyed! And she also gave me some spaghetti for dinner...which she knows is my favourite food! Thank you Grandma!

We had such a fun time visiting you!

Then Ima tickled me all over and I laughed all the way to the MMY seudah! (We were going to go to cousins Yehuda, Lyat and Yair too but time ran out...next year!)

Purim D'Prazim

Today on everyone else's purim, we dressed up as die-hard Cardinals fans!

That wasn't so hard since we are die-hard Cardinals fans (hence the immense amount of Cardinals paraphernalia we've accumulated and i'm not even one yet!)

I know I don't look so enthusiastic here, but that's just because there are many people walking by me wearing funny wigs and things and i'm just confused...

Here I look more cheery

Of course, my favourite part of today was hanging out with my (punk rocker dude) friend and fellow blogger...NETANEL!! We had a lot of fun and I also ate a LOT of food at his seudah...maybe he'll give me his recipe for meatballs! Thank you Netanel! (and his Ema and Abba)We had such a nice time!

Happy Purim!

To all our family and friends out there...PURIM SAMEACH!

We miss you!
For those of you who won't be getting our mishloach manot, here's our poem:

Purim Sameach and Sawadee-KA!

From the Cohens on this Purim, yeah!

In December we went to see

Thailand and its beauty

So this year we are a Thai royal family

For all of you to look with glee

Our mishloach manot have this theme too

Pad Thai for one is their main dish, it’s true

You can also buy bugs on the street

No not as pets, but for all to eat (gross!)

(that’s the gummy worms)

Bananas are also a main dish

Fried, cut up, dessert, or fresh

(Gedalya enjoyed!)

And of course, what’s Purim without Hamentashen?

Not a Thai food but we didn’t want you to miss out on the fun (they’re parve)!

So Purim Sameach from us to you!

Enjoy a taste of Thailand,

Love,

Rafi, Avital, and Gedali-boo!
