Highlights of the week from Mia and Owen

 Mia, Livie, and Mazu were having fun watching Mia‘s brother Ari play amazing soccer at his tryouts to make the top team.

Mia and her friend Camille biked over to  a pizza restaurant for dinner.

Mazu is enjoying the Passover Seder Mia set up and led. A Passover Seder is when you eat special food like Matzah, Matzah ball soup, and bitter herbs and tell some of the story of the Jews’ end of slavery. Mazu loved the Matzah, Matzah ball soup and Haroset.

Mazu is helping Mia cut up the apples for the charoset.
