Right after picking him up at the airport I took him to all sorts of Jewish shops in Brookline because we needed various things for Chanukkah - sufganiyot (jelly donuts), candles, and dreydels among other things. And then I took him to our kosher Chinese restaurant. Mmmmm!
Monday night we had FHE on Skype with Heavyn and the Curtis Family (who I'm going to see on Monday!!!!)
Thursday night was time for the movie! I can't remember where we took this picture...but I think it was before we had dinner. Toby is dressed as a hobbit and I am dressed as Arwen (who isn't even seen in this movie, but I have the costume and it looked nice.)
This was us waiting in line for the movie. We got there around 9pm for the midnight showing and there were at least 100 people in line ahead of us. Luckily we got AMAZING seats. Probably best in the house.
Saturday night we went back to see The Hobbit again with Shmuel, Melanie and Ariel. This was Toby's first trip on a subway!
After the movie we took some pictures with Gandalf...
For this showing I dressed as a hobbit. :-)
All in all, it was fantastic to finally meet him in person. He got along great with the kids and with Shmuel, and it was a pleasure to have him visit. We hope he comes again soon!! But the coolest part is that he drove to Missouri, where I'm going to be visiting Heavyn next week. He's spending a few days with Heavyn before I get there and then we're going to have Monday together - the three of us. It's going to be incredible!
As for the title of this post, you'll have to wait a few days at least for an explanation. For now, you can remember that its original usage referred to the One Ring in Fellowship of the Ring.
