Riley's first Sukkot


This weekend, Riley got to celebrate his first Sukkot. Chris was having a Sukkah Hop for young families at the shul and we were invited to join. We went to 3 sukkahs and at each one, had a part of a meal. Riley was really well behaved the whole time (mostly sleeping) and got out at each one. The rabbi blessed him at our last stop that he would have 119 more years to enjoy sukkahs. 

With each hop, Riley wiggled a little lower in his snuggly outfit and by the end of the afternoon, we had to go searching for him.  At least we know he was staying warm!



Tonight, we brought him to shul for Simchat Torah!  He was wide awake and taking in the whole experience.  Everyone came to say hi to him and when it was time to march with the Torahs, we attached a little flag to his stroller and he joined in the parade.  When it was time to sing and dance, we stood on the outside of the circle and joined in.  Chris was holding Riley and a Torah at one point, the little Torah still being much bigger than our little baby.

We have had a busy few weeks with holidays and now the next one that we can look forward to is Hanukkah!
