It's time for Purim!

It has been a long standing tradition (for over 42 years!) to bake Hamentashen cookies each year at Jeff's parent's house.  It's a favorite activity for all observing Jews, but especially sweet (no pun intended) for my mother-in-law who has been baking these triangle-shaped cookies with Elaine (Jeff's sister) since she was two years old. 

Over the years, the hands helping in the kitchen grew to include Jeff, Grandson #1 Matthew, me, Ian and finally Sam when she came on the scene 4 years ago.  Coming together each year making Hamentashen is an event! 

Unfortunately for me, I missed this past year and Jeff took the kids solo to his parents.  They had a wonderful time, not only creating great memories, but 10 dozen Hamentashen cookies! 

Voila!  The finished product!
