Happy New Year!

This year's Rosh Hashanah was wonderful (back in September!).  GG and Grandpa hosted a full house.  We got to mingle with friends and family out on the patio before dinner and then enjoyed a tasty meal together.  Finley and his second cousin Mia had fun being the "big" kids on the scene.

 

The second night there were more friends and family to celebrate with.  Second cousin Elliot from DC (same age as Dags) had fun with our two and he even showed them his dad's iPhone after dinner.

 While waiting for dessert, Dagny serenaded everyone with a song she learned at school.

Instead of going to temple for a second day of services, we took a more outdoorsy approach and celebrated the new year at the Croton Dam with books, prayers, songs, and Grandpa even blew the shofar!

 

Then we hiked up to the top of the dam for a gorgeous view and a family photo op!

 Dagny probably could have walked, but for efficiency we put her in the backpack and she enjoyed the ride and debuting her new NYYs hat from Aunt Caitlin.

 

We hiked back down and then drove a few minutes away to eat a picnic lunch on the water.

 What a great way to ring in 5775!
