In August 2012, Alexandria started her 5th grade year of school at Claremont Elementary School in Claremont, NC. Her mom, Beth, was teaching 3rd grade at the school.
Helping Build Poppi & Nonni's Sukkah
Ali & Savanna's maternal grandparents, Curtis & Carolyn Loftin, observe the Biblical Festivals as well as many of the Christian ones. Sukkot has been a family favorite ever since Beth and Philip were both children. In 2012, Brad, Savanna and Ali help Poppi & Nonni (Curtis & Carolyn) with the construction of the family "sukkah" or "booth". During the 7-day festival, Curtis & Carolyn ate many of their meals outside in the sukkah. It's always a joy when they get to share it with their children and grandchildren. The sukkah should have at least 3 walls The top of the sukkah is covered with branches from a variety of different trees
Ali & Brad help Poppi (Curtis) as he adds the branches to the top - but you should still see the skyAli helps by adding some Poplar tree branches 
Poppi (Curtis) adds some pine tree braches as well as some braches from an Oak tree
and even some branches from a Pin Oak tree and a Crepe MyrtleVideo # 1 - CLICK HERE or Below - Ali helps Poppi add the branches Video # 2 - CLICK HERE or Below - Ali & Savanna help with some decorations A table and some chairs are placed inside of the sukkah. Christmas lights are added to the top so that they can have light for evening meals. The inside of the sukkah should also be decorated. Ali & Savanna pose in front of the "nearly-completed" sukkah One of the best thing about Sukkot
is being able to share a meal with family and friends in the sukkahThe family eats together and chat in the shade of the sukkah Savanna & Poppi Alexandria Video # 3 - CLICK HERE or Below - Ali & Savanna sitting in the Sukkah Beth & Nonni chat while Beth finishes her meal Nonni, Brad, Savanna & Granny Video # 4 - CLICK HERE or Below - Ali & Savanna feed the Goldfish in Poppi's back yard Sukkot - The Feast of Booths/Tabernacles
As stated previously, the Biblical Feast of Sukkot is a 7-day holiday. Sukkot is considered by Jewish people to be the most festive and joyous of all the Biblical Feasts. Those of us know know Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah) see in the Feast of Sukkot a picture of the 1000-Year-Reign of Messiah Yeshua when he returns to Tabernacle with His people - those who love Him and have received Him into their hearts and lives. The Loftin and Seese Families got together on 13 October 2012 for a cookout
and to enjoy Curtis & Carolyn's sukkah during the Feast of SukkotUnfortunately the Loftin's sukkah wasn't quite large enough for 10 people
Philip, Leslie, Kayli, Savanna & Ali ate in the sukkah
while Brad, Beth, Granny (Willie), Nonni (Caroly) and Poppi (Curtis) ate outside
Philip & Leslie, as well as Savanna & Ali, enjoy their hotdogs and hamburgers
Time for seconds at the food table

Every photo that I've added to this page made me smile - and reminded me just how special you are. You're kind, sweet and gentle.
