Happy Passover!

We currently live about an hour away from most of my side of the family.  Despite that, this year we will be celebrating Passover once again at home.  Tonight, I will be hosting a Seder for two, and tomorrow for three.  Hosting?  Nope.  No one to host.  My extended family will be gathering tonight at my aunt's house, to which we were invited.  However, I do not feel it would be safe to bring the Babe, even with any allergy accommodations (and I wouldn't want everyone to adapt, just so we can leave shortly after getting there if we had a problem).  Tomorrow my sister will hold her own family Seder, as she did not want to exclude her husband's family.  We know no one locally who needed a place to go for the holiday, either.  So once again it is just us.

Tonight it will just be the Babe and myself.  My husband was supposed to be here too, but weather and the airlines aren't cooperating.  He had a business meeting on the East coast, and they proactively cancelled his return flight home.  Hopefully tomorrow we'll be able to celebrate together. 

I could have attempted to have a sitter so I can join the extended family, but I don't think its fair to the Babe to leave her behind on a holiday.  Plus, she is old enough to start learning these traditions.  So, while there will only be the two of us, I will put out a tablecloth, fill the Seder plate, and hold a Seder just for the two of us.  While I don't normally drink when its just the two of us, I will definitely have a little tonight (no, not four full glasses as instructed in the Hagaddah, but at least four sips).  On the plus side, I guess that means more brisket for me!
