Lexi’s Bat Mitzvah Week: October 26, 2024
Day 1:
And so began my four-day escapade with Lexi and her wonderful family. Our adventure kicked off with a photography rehearsal at Holy Blossom. Toronto in the fall—what a showoff! The sunshine was extra generous, and the trees were throwing a full-on colour party. Everything went off without a hitch: Lexi nailed it, the family brought their A-game, and we wrapped up perfectly prepped for day two.
Day 2:
Enter Cedarvale Park, stage left. This place wasn’t just beautiful; it was showing off. Fire-engine-red trees stood like nature’s paparazzi backdrop, and we were the stars of the show. We twirled through sunbeams, dodged joggers, and exchanged pleasantries with curious passersby—all under the watchful gaze of my trusty partner, Stevie the GoldenD. Stars all around. Bring on day three!
Day 3:
Today’s vibe? Post-ceremony cool-down. We hit up Holy Blossom again for a celebratory lunch after Lexi crushed her bat mitzvah service. The pressure was off, and the mingling was on. Schmoozing, munching, and basking in the afterglow of success—we’d officially hit the halfway mark, and spirits were still flying high.
Day 4:
Cue the grand finale: a kids’ party at The Factory! Teri had this whole thing locked down like a pro. Before diving into the festivities, we captured some stunning family shots in the glorious outdoor light. Then it was go-time. The grandparents had their moment, but the kids stole the show. The hora? Iconic. The candy table? Legendary. The Magen Boys? Absolute rockstars. The energy soared, and Lexi owned it all with style.
By the end of the night, it hit me—this family had become my family for the week. Saying goodbye felt like the end of an epic summer camp, complete with post-party blues. Until we meet again, Lexi and crew. Mazel Tov!
