We have recently visited the family in Israel, this time we had been invited to Keren's younger sister's wedding, and a few days later the Festival of Purim.
 



The Bride arrives at the "After Purification" Party



Noa & Mika in Moroccan gear  (the Groom's family originate from there).



More Moroccan dress.



Ma'ayan seems to be enjoying the party.



"Blood Brother" ceremony - they use henna these days, it stains your hand
 for about a week - fun though!



Alma is growing fast, not walking yet, but it won't be long...



Here we are at the Wedding, Grandad and his best mate!



Keren is radiant, big daughter looks on.



Alma with proud Granny.



Mika peeps from behind Daddy.



Noa & Yair arrive.



Post Marriage high spirits, Middle Eastern style.



Pyrotechnics too!



Slight adjustments to the headgear.



They said "He looks like the Pope" which one? "The dead one!"



Three Generations, Alma, Keren & Batia.



In the interests of scientific research Martin carries out tests on the
Chocolate Gateau.



My favourite pic of the trip, Mika attacks the ice cream.



Purim party for the kids on the Kibbutz.



The younger children dress up as animals, guess Ma'ayan's favourite animal...
