Riley's first Yom Kippur

Over the past 2 days, we (like all other Jews), have spent hours and hours in shul for Yom Kippur.  Our time was a little more exciting this year, however, as we have our new baby boy to show off!
 

Riley wore his fanciest clothes for Kol Nidre - dress jeans and a button down shirt.  We didn't really think it was necessary to invest in a 2 week old sized sport coat.  Everyone was really excited to meet him and he did a great job sleeping during services.


The next morning, we got a little bit of a slower start.  We had morning snuggle time with Mama and then got ready to go back to shul.  It took a little longer to get ready but we got there in plenty of time to show off our baby again to a new slew of excited onlookers.  Riley was passed down the row and everyone in the family had a chance to hold him during services.  At the end, all the kids were invited on the bima for Havdallah and I brought Riley up to get a glow stick and sing for his first Havdallah.  Again, he was a hit!


Chris had a long day working at shul and at the end of the day, another snuggle session was called, this time for Daddy.  Repenting is hard work, especially for a baby!

How long do you think it will be before he's sprinting up to the bima to get candy? But I'll admit it, a glow stick is pretty cool.

He looks awesome in his new fancy outfit! Very much like his daddy.

Good looking kid...wonder who he takes after??? Just kidding! Love the sleeping pictures. What better to do on Yom Kippur than sleep?
