(A picture tour by Tehilla Temima)

Hi! I'm Tehilla. I got soooo big since the last album page! I even got much bigger than I was when Menasheh made me my very own page in January!	Ivdu es Hashem B'Simcha! (Serve G-d with Happiness!)	Mama's busy resting after working so hard to make Pesach for us, so I thought it was time to share some pictures. (Okay, actually, Mama thought it was more fun, umm, restful to sit at the computer and design an album page then to clean, do laundry or cook. But I sat on her lap and "helped" until I got bored and wandered off to make trouble.)
Let's start with last December!
Chanukah! For some reason, Mama wouldn't let me get closer to the candles! (I'm way off on the side, on Mama's lap)		Chana Devorah still thinks I'm a fish, sigh. But really, she takes very good care of me.
Wow, I was still pretty little then. This is the "littles" - the kids at home all day bothering, umm, keeping Mama busy. We like to go for walks, when it isn't too cold outside.		The littles again: Shifra, Meir, Me and Nechama.
Tbis is George. He likes to help cook. Here he was making hardboiled eggs. Menasheh helped him. (George actually belongs to Chana.)		Menasheh and Chana like to cook too. They made French toast!
This is Snowy. He's Menasheh's. Actually, that's Menasheh in the picture with him.		Chana and Snowy
Nechama Liba and Snowy		Hadassah and Snowy
Oh, don't look at this picture, or the next ones. I don't make trouble, and I certainly don't climb into the cabinet, try to jump over the arm of the couch or take out the bookshelves.		Hey. I said don't look!
We didn't really need this shelf in, did we?		Hmm, what looks good in here?
Now how do I get this open?		Pesky grape juice got away again. Hey, are you still watching me?
This one you can look at. I'm hiding behind my O-ball while everyone else tries to stick their stinky feet in my face!		Then we made a big kid pile!
Menasheh had a head cold and was complaining that his head was too stuffy. "The only thing that helps is to hang upside down!" He said.		"Really?" said Daddy, "Then I should try that too!"
For some reason, the other kids like to stand in the window to look outside. Will I like to do that too when I'm older?		That's Meir and Hadassah.
We had some snow so Chana made a little snowman.		Meir and Shifra helped, umm, clear the driveway by climbing on the piles of snow.
Everybody likes books here, but Nechama Liba doesn't know how to read yet! At least, I don't think she does!		Chana Devorah, reading one of the books we got for Chanukah.
Happy Purim!
Menasheh had some fun with Legos.
Chana made her own nose costume! The Hebrew reads "Af shel Cheli," or Cheli's Nose.	Most of the other kids raided the dress-up box.	Chana helped Hadassah decorate an old costume and turn it into a Hadassah Birthday Cake.
Meir as chocolate chip cookie	Rina as a Shabbos candle	Hey, didn't Nechama Liba wear that baby clown suit last year? Did Menasheh really ever fit into this? He's so big now!
Preparing for Pesach
Helping to clean the car		Carrying the car seats out of the way
I like helping!		Daddy bought a lot of Shmurah Matzo!
Ribbons, Braids and Bows
Shifra Shira with (much shortened!) ponytails.		Chana likes to help do the younger kids' hair.
Rina loved her little braids so much that she left them in as long as she could, until Mama finally made her take them out!		Nechama Liba with ponytails! She loves having her hair "done" to match the other girls, but it never stays in for long.
Hadassah, trying on a new YomTov outfit Hadassah with a fancy part and ponytails!		I didn't get any ribbons, I'm just cute. I'm eating a hardboiled egg in the picture above. I only like the white. In this picture I'm climbing the steps. I go up and down, all by myself, whenever Mama turns her back.
Pre-Pesach Let's use up the Pizza Party!
Chol HaMoed Pesach!
Rina on Chol Hamoed, mourning the lack of Pesach margarine. (The local stores sold out of their limited supply before we got there.)		Meir Mordechai, enjoying the "Matzo Torte" (chocolate cream drizzled over matzos soaked in wine.)
Chana davening	Menasheh, Nechama, and Shifra	No, actually, they never do stop reading, why do you ask? (This was technically after bedtime, but Mama and Daddy couldn't tear them away from their books... and it was Chol HaMoed, after all.)
