We had a fabulous Seder with our friends on the first night and got to meet another great (incidentally home-schooled) family also with five children. All the kids came with their question and insights. Several devarim were shared by the children. Not to kvell, but we definitely had a room full of "wise" children. The night was really just too short.
On the second night we opened our doors for the "Horesh Heymish Seder."
In typical fashion we had a rough head count for somewhere between 25-35 people. Like our Chupah, our home is opened on all sides, and my husband takes that seriously. Having the twinge of OCD that I do, I was worried we would be short on food or wine or chairs or even floor space, but we were not. The night ended with the fridge stacked with left overs, wine aplenty to spill on the pillows and floors, and neighbors who shared folding chairs with us at the last minute.
We have been enjoying Chol HaMoed immensely; today with a movie and Sunday with a visit to the Arabian Horse show.
Tonight is lovely Shabbat. Another set of dear friends will join us. Hopefully the weather will accommodate for their walk home. If not, we always have guest beds.
May we all know freedom,
Dana
