If You Can't Take the Boys to the Poconos...

Then take the Poconos to the boys.

This year for the second time in forty something years Ami's extended family is not in the Poconos for Thanksgiving. I'd like to say it's because of the birth of one Lev Rozmaryn and the imminent birth of another baby TBD Gadi and Jac Rozmaryn, but this off year for the clan started because of the Bar Mitzvahs of two boys who caused it's cancellation the first time 13 years ago. To clarify, we Rozmaryns wouldn't have gone this year no matter what, but the whole shebang would have been Schlager free (and there's a lot of them) already.

So, when you can't go to the Poconos, you do your best to order the Poconos to you. As did my in-laws in ordering tons of Callie's chocolate online for the US based part of the family, and bringing over a whole bunch here for our Israel based branch. If you've been around this blog for a while, you may remember hearing about this beloved chocolate shop here, and let me tell you, a year later, it's just as good.

Enjoy some shots of the two boys getting their Callie's on. Well, really just Eitan, little Levav will have to wait until next year (or the year after if his sugar fearing parents have their say).
