Birthday falafel and COLD

How lucky for M to have been born at the end of December! It's pretty much guaranteed to be cold.
This year, we enjoyed a delicious falafel sandwich at Max's Kosher Cafe in Wheaton, MD, with long-lost friends Liana and Barbara and their families. The kids outnumbered us. We ate a ton, and I finally got a decent knish after years of searching.
Good so far. Then it was time to see an outdoor light display at a nearby park. It was COLD outside! The lights were really awesome.

Barbara picks a cluster.

Who's cold? M with bundled V (and giraffe).

Inside there was a great model train set-up, and after observing it we had hot chocolate. L inhaled the hot choc with whip and nearly threw it up immediately afterward. Too much excitement/sugar, I guess.

Happy belated, Abba!
