Baby's First Seder

We celebrated the first night of Passover last night with a seder with some extended family. Let's see if I can figure out the relationships. There was one of Joe's dad's first cousins (so Nicholas' first cousin twice removed), the son of another of his dad's first cousins, that son's family (so his daughters are Nicholas' third cousins), as well as that last family's other side of the family. Yeah, let's just stick with "cousins."

We enjoyed ourselves and it was good to take a break from the grind of what seems to have become a 24/7 workday of late. And Nicholas loved having big cousins to walk him around, pay attention to him, sing songs, and feed him pieces of fruit. Since he doesn't have any first cousins, this isn't a role he is used to.

Oh, and his favorite part of the seder? Clapping along to Dayeinu, of course!

There are a few more pictures from yesterday evening, as well as Nicholas' first finger painting on display at "school" here.
