Purim 5775

Purim was very busy around here- the kids were busy all day, delivering Mishloach Manos to their friends, so I barely had a chance to snap pictures of them before running out to our Seuda. But B"H we did manage to get a picture of each of them (although not the most picture-perfect shots).


Yisrael was a scuba diver- and got tons of compliments on his costume wherever he went. It was a refreshing change from the typical police/solider/cowboy type costumes that most boys dress up as- and I won't be surprised if we see more of them next year!

Bruria was a nurse- with a REAL nurse "scrub" that we borrowed from a friend of mine who's a nurse in Hadassah. She had pockets full of bandaids, syringes, and even a real stethoscope!

Azriel was an old man- he was really quite cute. The babies and Nissim had fun walking around with his cane making "oy" noises- so adorable!

Naftali was a Kohein Gadol. He was especially excited about the costume because we just learned about the בגדי כהונה in the Parsha, and it was nice to actually experience it (although he made sure to point out all the inaccuracies!)

Nissim was a cute little king- he did not want any costume that did not involve Shabbos clothes so B"H this one was agreeable to him.

Our twins were chocolate and vanilla pudding (באדי brand) - since they were babies, I've been getting comments from people, "You have one chocolate flavor, and one vanilla" so I decided to make a costume out of that this year- and they were absolutely adorable!- and their costume was absolutely adorable. They weren't in the mood for a whole picture session so I couldn't get a good shot of them together, but you get the basic idea...

Creative juices flowing
seeing Purim faces glowing
as 'Shoshanas Yaakov' they sang.
Vamilla and chocolate, ying and yang
Hillel and Yehuda Leib decked out.
Yisroel wearing a diver's snout
rubber suit with scuba fins,
Azriel an old man brings
a cane on which to lean.
Naphtali can be seen
wearing the Kohein Gadol's attire,
Nissin is the king, our sire,
Bruria as a nurse is clad.
Everyone is merry and glad.
Another year of boundless glee
from the Yunger family dynasty.
