Mater: Lights, camera, bubbles!

Posted by Pater , Monday, December 14, 2015 12:27 PM

What a relief December arrived!  AJ2 and Pater's never ending November-filled birthday celebrations and gifts finally ended.  Mater is exhausted. After a month of 4 and 40, Mater has aged to 400 and is looking forward to a nice and quiet month, with no parties or presents... Noooooooooooooooo, not Chanukah!!! DAMN YOU ADAM SANDLER!

The Maccabees rebelled against Antiochus Epiphanes over two thousand years ago, overthrowing a tyrannical ruler who prevented the Jews of Ancient Israel from worshipping God according to the Torah.  Somehow that, and them subsequently finding a bottle of sacred oil that burned for eight crazy nights despite only being enough for one day's lighting, translated two millennium later into doughnuts, parties and pressies.  Lots of them.  Not to mention ugly sweaters and that most traditional of Chanukah past times - bubbles...
Alright, maybe Mater is being a little too much like the Grinch Who Stole Chanukah (sorry Dr Seuss).  It was really great lighting candles together (though sad that Grandma Toronto had to miss the festivities)...

...attend AJ1 and AJ2's Chanukah concerts...
...and light up the darkness of winter with candle making, Chanukah house building, dreidel spinning and our friends...
Happy Chanukah, Avocado Jnrs, from Mater and Pater!!!

Mater: Our star performer

Posted by Pater , Wednesday, July 2, 2014 7:28 PM

AJ1, Mater is more shocked than anyone that with your genes, you turned into a star performer.  Who would have thought such shrinking voilets as Mater and Pater would produce a girl who carries the stage around on her back? Honestly it's a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.  But as perplexing as it is, it's obvious you have the gusto for performing and what you lack in skill you more than make up in sheer exuberance.  

Take your voice (please!).  Nothing short of angelesque...
...and dance moves that the Stars could only dream of...

Truly a chip of the old block.  Mater and Pater are very proud of our little star performer...
Now if only Mater could find you a blue Genie outfit...
