Girl Scout Patch Ceremony

Julie's girl scout troop did their patch award ceremony the other day. Each girl received all the patches they've been working on so far this school year. Being as we probably will never do Girl Scouts again...we made a big deal out of these ones. Way to go Jules!

PURIM

This year we decided to celebrate the Jewish Holiday of Purim. It's a remembrance of Ester's role in God saving her people from the evil Haman. We had costumes, said the blessings, acted out the scene, and finished with "wine" (grape juice) and Hamantashen cookies.
