Halloween was always a fun holiday with Mom. Every time we went trick-or-treating, Mom would look around for the most creative costumes.
We would share what costumes we thought were the coolest, and there were lots of laughs. Also, Mom loved candy. We would get home, and Mom would ask for “tax”. Mom would pick and choose the candy she wanted from our candy bags, and then we would all eat the candy. We tried to eat as much as possible that first night, because 10 days later Mom would insist on throwing out the rest of the candy.
Mom always loved the snow. Whenever someone would ask her what her favorite season was, she would be torn between summer and winter; summer because of the nice weather, and winter because of skiing, sledding, and Christmas/Chanukah.
Mom also loved to go skiing. Every since we can remember, Mom was taking us skiing during winter vacation. And we never went to some low-quality ski place- we always went to a nice place with many lifts and slopes. Mom was teaching Soren and I how to ski from the moment there were boots small enough for our feet.
