Yep, we actually did it. Jonathan wanted to invite some people over to share it with us, but since this was our first to host, I just wanted our family around. C.J. could not get off work, even though he tried desperately.
We went to one hosted by a church last year and it was very insightful. However, it meant so much more going through the Haggadah as a family.
In the first picture above, you can see the "blood on the doorposts." Br. used red beeswax crayons on paper and cut the stripes out and we helped him tape them to the posts. It worked great because we were truly inside with this on the outside of the room.
The stripes and piercings of the matzah bread...breaking the middle one and hiding a portion and "resurrecting" it later in the meal...passing the matzah...passing the juice and wine...just what Our Savior was doing on this same day 2,000 years ago. Oh, how precious to learn more of how Our Lord worshiped.
Next year, we will invite over friends and family who are interested in participating with us.
