Went to my grandparents’ for Passover–and for the first time I could ever remember, I was the youngest present and got to read the four questions!
Enjoying the paperweight
I brought a chiffon cake made with matzo meal (safe for Passover) and we decorated it with candles for my grandpa’s birthday, which had only been the day before!

Our feast
We made cinnamon buns for Aubrey at work, who was leaving. We made some for us, too, but used allspice because cinnamon doesn’t agree with either of us.
