"Daniel do you want to smile for a picture with noona?

Be careful what you ask for...Mr. Camera-Shy suddenly became Mr. Cheese. 4 is such a cute age...and probably the last time you can get away with an argyle vest. Isn't he cute?

The Bar Mitzvah was...interesting. Similar to going to my parents' Korean church service but...even more traditional. (And without Jesus).

There was one part of the service where people can stand up and state the name(s) of people who need healing. James offered me $40 to stand up and say my name. Hrmph. (I couldn't go through with it) 2 minutes later, Sammy says "Christimina, should I stand up and tell the Jews to pray for you?" Jokester, as always...

This is the same guy who once said "we really need to stop teaching so much on Sundays and go back to church..the Jews are keeping us from Jesus!" (It was kind of true...5 of my private students were at the Bar Mitzvah)

Celebrating the whole coming-of-age thing was such a nice concept though. That was one fun party. That ancient guy in the back of the picture who looks like the Six Flags Grandpa...was the deejay. Haha...
