Seder Story
Our first seder in Naperville was a spectacular success. We had 21 guests, most of whom weren't Jewish, but interested to learn how we commemorate Passover. Of course we missed our relatives and friends back home, but we were delighted to celebrate with our new extended family.

At last Grumpy can teach the Oracle something!
As the youngest Jewish male present, Lex reads the Manish tana.
Nancy discovers sticking your little finger in the wine can almost be as much fun as drinking it, as we remember the plagues.
A little realism as a plague of frogs leap onto the table.

Lex found it. I hid it in one of the baskets in the family room. When the other boys (Susan and Serendipity's sons) saw the prize - only an English keyring with a policeman and grenadier guard - I think they were pleased they hadn't won.
