We have been reading about Queen Esther for the past couple of weeks. Today we tossed the school books aside and had ourselves a fancy dress-up Purim party. After watching a movie of Esther's story the girls dressed in queenly dresses, chose a scarf to go with their outfit, and had their hair fixed up with flowers. I then presented them with "jewels" for their fingers and the queen-look was complete.
We traveled to Scottsdale to join the local Messianic dancers as they celebrated Purim with a roomful of elderly Jewish men and women. The girls had a great time dancing, marching in the Esther parade, participating in the retelling of the story of Esther and finally eating a plateful of sweet treats. Everyone was tickled to have the little Esther's join the party and a wonderful Purim was had by all.
