Boston Bris

Mazel Tov to Mitchell, Amanda, and Noah Kaye on the birth of a great new addition, Samuel Joel, born FIRST thing on September 3rd (which also happened to be Mitchell and Amanda's 7th Anniversary)! I am so proud to be an aunt again! Gabi and I enthusiastically flew to Boston to be with them for the bris and some special hangout time.  We stayed with cousins Elana and Brendon whose hospitality was MUCH appreciated.

Gabi gets her own seat on the airplane...good for Mommy!

Gabi warms up to cousin Noah pretty quickly upon arrival.


Nana with her 2 youngest grandchildren

These 2 cousins are only 7 months apart, but look at the difference now!

making sure she's still getting her attention


Noah gets to make 2 special cakes for brother Sam's party. Good thing Aunt Debbie is there to help!


The day of the bris arrives:

Mommy of 2, Amanda, cries happy tears.

Aunt Debbie with her tiniest nephew!
It was REALLY hard to believe that
Gabi was ever that small.
(turns out she was smaller...)

Is it more fun to eat the food
or the food container?



...and then there's the spoon!
