My cousin, Carly, was Bat Mitzvahed a few weeks ago!!

And what better place than Mom's summer camp, Calamitous Ranch!!

This is a picture of Carly's sisters and cousins...

That's Hayden and Maya, Silas, ME, and at the end is Lulu.

Here she is reading from the torah with Grandma and Grandpa.

 And a reading with her Mom and Dad, Uncle Gregg and Aunt Julie...

Even I got called up to open the ark

After her torah portion was finished Aunt Julie read something to Carly.

 Then Uncle Gregg read something.

Then Grandpa read something.  

Lotta reading at these things!!

And afterwards we were all starving and Aunt Julie bought these humungous challah loaves that everyone anxiously dug into... additionally because it was the end of the week of Passover so the guests were thrilled to get some bread!!

 It was a beautiful night...

Mom got a picture with Carly - even though I didn't.

But I did get one with Mom and my cousin Amelia :)

And one with Maya!!

 I ate yummy lollypops, too!

There was one set at each table setting, along with headphones and, of course, hockey pucks with everyone's name on them!  Aunt Julie found all kinds of cool Kings themed stuff... as only Aunt Julie could do.  They are one crazy hockey family.

 As far as the grown up, here's Mom with Uncle Manny.  I think he was telling me that he couldn't hear a thing!  But he could still take a picture with my mom.

 This is Karen, Amelia's mom.  Does that make her my second cousin or my cousin once removed?

 And not to be left out, Hayden was there too!  I think her favorite part was the chocolate fountain...

 And the dancing.  She tore up the dance floor all night!!

 I had such a great time at this party.  Carly did amazing at the service and it was funny and interesting (and a little boring) but the party rocked!!  And it rocked late and fun and wild and lollipops and cousins and relatives and no Mom and Dad chasing me down at the party telling me what to do and not to do.  SUPER FUN!!  Yay CARLY!!
