Purim Party

Purim was quite a while ago, but I wanted to reflect on how we spent it. We took our son to a great little preschool party held at Barnes and Nobles in Tysons Corner and sponsored by Growing Jewish Families. It was our first event with the group and it was nice to see a large turnout. The children decorated crowns with stickers, pompoms and macaroni and strung macaroni necklaces. (I smiled as I realized this was my son's first experience with macaroni art - a childhood milestone!) They received gift bags with Hamantashen and coloring pages and other fun activities. Goodnight Schma was read and I was pleased that this learning-to-be Jewish mom had a copy of the book already in the family library. (Thank you JCC book fair!)
