Before 4/5 is too far in the rear view, here are some of my favorite memories from the weekend:

Hearing N give his speech. He did such a great job. Slow, clear, confident, articulate.

Hearing everyone say what a great job he did.

Hearing people say that the bar mitzvah was so life affirming, positive, and FUN.

The hora, especially the immediate family hora at the center of the circle.

All the cute touches – the little flags in the stress balls for the table assignments, the pennants in the centerpieces, the astroturf squares, even the little baseball word games sprinkled around.

Seeing all of our extended families mix together so nicely.

Watching N throw sweatshirts and candy into the crowd on the dance floor.

N’s very cute outfit.

Sitting on the bimah and looking out at all of our friends and family.

Watching the girls hang out with our friends. That is so cute.

Here are some more pics from the photographer (many more to come):
