Esther & Adiel’s Blog

Here is a video clip (with Shaina digging into the cake) of the end of the party:

Chanukah started off with a big BANG!
The Shabbos before was snowy but inside was warm with friendship  and fun at the Langsners, just a few minutes away in Bayswater. Besides for a nice midnight wake-up on Shabbos morning (Shaina thought it was so fun to wake up in the middle of the night), we had [...]

This is almost a repeat of what I wrote  in the other blog — for those who know where to find me .

So the Kiddush was awesome, really great. Mom came in from Atlanta on Thursday, it was wonderful to see her. She treated [...]

Last night we attended the vort of our good friend from the LES, Toby Adams and her chosson Leiby Ungar. I can’t believe she’s engaged and am so excited for her! All the best you too! We had loads of fun going to her vort, it was very ‘Leiby’dike and LES functions are always fun! [...]
