Late Happy Passover or otherwise known Pesach!

We had a GREAT Passover or otherwise known Pesach. I will start right from the beginning, I got of school about a week before Passover otherwise known Pesach so we could help our family clean. I mean, my best friend Shira did not really have to clean because then she was on a 8 day European cruise this is the picture of the ship:
Uch, the blog is not letting me! That is not fair!
Look at where she went:

OK? I am SO jealous. Oh well, I am happy for her too. I missed her too too!
We went to Gramps and Nana for the seder and I made my delicious Charoset (everybody say that you love it in the comments - we need proof!) Here is the recipe for people that are interested in:

Ingredients:
1. 200 Grams of Walnuts
2. 1 container of date spread
3. 1/4 cup of grape juice
4. 1/2 cup of Honey
5. 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
6. 1 tablespoon of ground Cinnamon
7. 1 orange
8. 3 big red apples

How to make it itself:
1. Chop the walnuts intill it breaks in to little pieces and put them in a large bowl
2. You add to the large bowl the Date Spread, Grape Juice, Honey, Vanilla extract, and the Cinnamon.
3. Wash well the orange and grate the orange zest (in the middle hole), but only the orange part, not the white. Add the zest to the bowl and squeeze the juice into the bowl.
4. Wash well the apples and grate them too (now in the big hole). You do not need to peel the apples, and don't grate the core. Add the apples too.
5. Mix well all of the ingredients, and move it into a toperwear with a top. Put it in the fridge for a couple of hours.
THE END! Translated by Ladies and Gentelman Adina Hershberg (but a little help from Mommy and Abba)
I need to go now, but I will tell you later about Passover or otherwise known as Pesach itself and how I am going to be Famous!!!! Stay tuned.
