Partying at OMSI!

Avi and Ben chose an amazing place for Noam's party: The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry! It was the perfect place - we had Turbine Hall all to ourselves which meant tons of exhibits and interactive things to explore, plenty of room to mingle, and a really fun vibe.

Within seconds of walking in, Ronan and his bestie took my crutches and decorated them in washi tape, light up necklaces, and stickers.

Even though shabbat was over a few hours before the party started, we formally kicked off the party with havdallah, the ceremony that marks the end of shabbat and the beginning of the week. It was so beautiful as Noam's camp director played his guitar!

Then! Party! There was a photobooth that we all had too much fun with and just a lot of schmoozing with family and friends.

It was such a sweet way to celebrate an amazing weekend for Noam!!

Noam's Bar Mitzvah Weekend!

It was so special to be in Oregon for Noam's bar mitzvah! Time in Oregon is always so fun, but this time there was such a buzz of specialness. A bar mitzvah is a really big deal in Judaism, and given the state of the world right now, watching Noam reach this important milestone was so special.

Friday morning, Noam had his last practice for the big day. Since we do not take pictures during shabbat services the photographer took pictures as he ran through everything and then we did formal photos too! Let's just say the crutches were a big hit with the boys too!

We had some fun doing the aunt and uncle photos!

Sunday morning there was a lovely brunch at Avi and Ben's - complete with marzipan bagels! It was so great to spend time with family who we don't get to see very often!
