Easter has never been my favorite holiday. The story is morose and is anyone else just really freaked out by the Easter bunny? I've only been to one Passover seder and I had fun but from what I gather, most families don't sing "silly seder songs." Anyway, what Steve and I both like about these holidays is being with family.
A benefit of being a mixed-faith family, living away from family, is that we can create our own holiday traditions. Take EastOver (an Easter, Passover hybrid) for example. I colored eggs mostly because I wanted to see if using cabbage as dye works. It does! I was also curious to see if Owen would eat a hard boiled egg. No such luck.
In addition to his EastOver basket, Owen got a rare treat. An up close and personal visit from Sydney, who was interested in eating the faux grass. Owen laughed as he threw grass on her. He then pushed her out of the way as he got down to business.
It could have been the sugar but here is Owen's first drawing. A picture of Syd, his muse. An artistic prodigy, I tell you.
Our celebration ended with a traditional EastOver dinner of matzo ball soup, chicken salad, Vermont cheddar bread (anyone who's visited us is familiar) and macaroons. Yummy!
