Let's Get Down to Christmas!

My father's birthday is December 25th and this year was the big seven-oh, so we all decided to go to Simsbury for Christmas.

We flew the red eye from Burbank to JFK with a nice lady in seat A who let Yarden kick her a couple of times without complaining. Jay and Tamar were nice enough to pick us up at 6:00 AM NYC time. After breakfast and a short nap, Aliyah, Yarden, Grandma-ma Roz and I made great time up to Simsbury (except for the 5 mile traffic jam caused by last minute shoppers around the Danbury Mall). Jay and Tamar were nice enough to wait behind for Liam's last puppet show at Macy's, and Kenzie and Yoda. And then it was a very musical Christmas...

First Aliyah sang lead while Yarden kept the beat

Then there was the accapella trio:


Yarden was shy about her singing voice:


But fortunately (?) Nashville and Dr. Doctor were not. They led everyone sing-a-long.
