Celebration

Today, in accordance with Jewish tradition, and in the presence of family and friends, our darling 3-month-old granddaughter, Hailey, received her Hebrew name in a short ceremony at our daughter-in-law’s family synagogue.  She was held by her parent as they spoke with much love and humor about their respective grandparents for whom Hailey has been named.  Hailey was as good as gold throughout it all. 

Afterwards, everyone was treated to a traditional lunch.  I was busy getting pictures of the family and didn’t get into the buffet table quickly enough to capture it before everyone began to dig into it.  I took a few shots of the beautiful table anyway but my food photography skills are nonexistent minimal and in the end, this shot of the bagels worked best. 

I have posted a picture of our darling girl in her finery, in the extras.
