Speaker 1: You are listening to What in the Winkler and iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of What in the Winkler.
Speaker 1: I am so excited because today I'm going to talk
Speaker 1: about Ace's bar mitzvah, and so many of you guys
Speaker 1: have asked me for details and for pictures, and obviously
Speaker 1: I'm so thrilled because i love nothing more than talking
Speaker 1: about it. So I'm very excited to just chat with
Speaker 1: you guys today. I this is the second time I've
Speaker 1: ever done in alone episode, so we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 1: But I had my son's bar mitzvah over the weekend,
Speaker 1: and uh, he's my first child, So I have three boys.
Speaker 1: Ace is thirteen, Jules is nine, and Gus is seven,
Speaker 1: and so this was the first bermitzvah in our family,
Speaker 1: and I had been planning it for over a year. So, uh,
Speaker 1: it's basically a wedding, not for everybody, but definitely for
Speaker 1: me and my family. And I think like the most
Speaker 1: incredible part about this whole process was that Ace really
Speaker 1: wanted to plan it with me. He had like a
Speaker 1: lot of ideas and a lot of he had a vision,
Speaker 1: and so it was him and I really doing it together,
Speaker 1: which I thought was so special. I think I've talked
Speaker 1: aout this before, but my husband and I are both
Speaker 1: born and raised in Los Angeles. We both have really
Speaker 1: big families. My husband's one of five kids. Everyone is married,
Speaker 1: everybody has kids, so on his family on his side alone,
Speaker 1: like his immediate family when we travel with them, is
Speaker 1: twenty six people. And then his mom is actually one
Speaker 1: of four kids. His dad is one of three, so
Speaker 1: it's a very big family. So and then on my side,
Speaker 1: I have two brothers, so there's three of us. We're
Speaker 1: all married, we all have kids. So family alone was
Speaker 1: like a huge part of this bar mitzvah. But also
Speaker 1: because Rob and I are both born and raised here,
Speaker 1: we had a lot of our friends, and then my
Speaker 1: son had a lot of his friends, so it ended
Speaker 1: up being about three hundred people, which is insane. And
Speaker 1: I talk about my wedding all the time because I
Speaker 1: loved every minute of it. I loved it so much.
Speaker 1: It was one of like my favorite core memories of
Speaker 1: my life. And to this day, I always on my anniversary,
Speaker 1: I say that I miss my wedding. And now I
Speaker 1: feel this way about Ace's bar Mitzvah. I planned it
Speaker 1: for so long. I worked so hard on it, and
Speaker 1: in one night, it's like over one weekend. And so
Speaker 1: I had the most incredible party planners. I literally, like,
Speaker 1: I cannot say enough about them. I know that some
Speaker 1: of you that listen to this podcast know me really
Speaker 1: well and some of you don't know me at all.
Speaker 1: But I am not the easiest. I am just complicated.
Speaker 1: And for me to have no notes for these women
Speaker 1: and no like there was nothing that didn't go exactly
Speaker 1: the way I had hoped is crazy. They are the
Speaker 1: most talented women in the game. The company is called
Speaker 1: Harper Sloan Productions, and I actually know Claire Davis, the owner,
Speaker 1: because when I was a teacher, I taught her son,
Speaker 1: and so I had gotten really close to her and
Speaker 1: her family. I had gotten really close to her child, Harper,
Speaker 1: and when it came time to plan this event, I
Speaker 1: reached out to her and she said to me, like,
Speaker 1: I want to do this with you. I want to
Speaker 1: work with you, like you were so incredible to my son,
Speaker 1: and I want to I wanna I want to plan
Speaker 1: this incredible celebration for your son with you. And so
Speaker 1: we did, and at the beginning when I was first
Speaker 1: looking for a location, I looked everywhere in LA like I,
Speaker 1: because I knew it was going to be a lot
Speaker 1: of people. I wanted it to be different. I wanted
Speaker 1: it to be fun. Obviously it's the most important thing
Speaker 1: for the kids, but I really lived like wanted it
Speaker 1: to also be amazing for the adults that were coming.
Speaker 1: And honestly, three hundred people was like cutting it off,
Speaker 1: cutting list off because my husband Rob and I really
Speaker 1: wanted it to only be adults that had a real
Speaker 1: connection to Ace and like knew him, and so it
Speaker 1: wasn't just like people that we know, but people that
Speaker 1: really knew our family well and really knew Ace. So
Speaker 1: I looked all over Los Angeles and then on the
Speaker 1: last stay, Catherine Claire's partner said to me, I went
Speaker 1: to this incredible bar Mitzvah at Catch Steak. Ketch is
Speaker 1: a it's a restaurant group here in Los Angeles. They
Speaker 1: have one in Texas, they have them in New York,
Speaker 1: they have one in Miami. I've never been, but it's
Speaker 1: like a total like seeny yummy place and there's Catch
Speaker 1: La and Catch Steak here in LA. And so she said,
Speaker 1: I went to this you know party at Catch Steak,
Speaker 1: and I think you should just look at it. And
Speaker 1: we went and looked at it and it was definitely
Speaker 1: out of my price range, but I was just like
Speaker 1: obsessed with it, and I was like, I'll cut things
Speaker 1: here and there and I'll just like make it work
Speaker 1: at this place. So I booked it a year in advance.
Speaker 1: We had like everything planned. In January, they called me
Speaker 1: and said that they were closing Catch Steak, but that
Speaker 1: I could do it at Catch. They're like main a
Speaker 1: flagship restaurant. So I went to go see Catch. They
Speaker 1: were so increased of all the people at Catch could
Speaker 1: not have been more lovely and wonderful. And I went
Speaker 1: in I saw it. I never even went for a tasting.
Speaker 1: I was like, this is it. Let's just do it.
Speaker 1: And so that was like the first little like maybe
Speaker 1: like trip was that, like I had it planned at
Speaker 1: this place, the place was closing two months. The place
Speaker 1: was closing fourteen days before the party, and I had
Speaker 1: to you know, switch locations. Did that. Everything was fine.
Speaker 1: Then my mom got really sick, which I've talked about,
Speaker 1: and you know, for me, families the most important thing
Speaker 1: in the world. And to not have my mom. There
Speaker 1: was just like something that I had come to terms
Speaker 1: with and was going to It was going to be
Speaker 1: what it would be. And you know, if my mom
Speaker 1: couldn't be there, my heart would be broken. And I
Speaker 1: knew that Ace and my family's hearts would be broken,
Speaker 1: but I would we would still, you know, make it
Speaker 1: incredibly special for Ace. But it was something that I
Speaker 1: had just sort of come to terms with. And then
Speaker 1: two weeks before his bar mitzvah, the fires happened in
Speaker 1: La ten days actually, I'm sorry, ten days before his
Speaker 1: barmitzvah was scheduled to happen, and so many of his
Speaker 1: friends and our friends lost their homes, were displaced, family
Speaker 1: was displaced, family had lost their homes. It was just
Speaker 1: like a really heavy time. And during our evacuation the
Speaker 1: first night when we were evacuated and we left, i
Speaker 1: A said to me he was really obviously freaking out
Speaker 1: about the fires. We all were, and he said to me, like,
Speaker 1: what about my bar mitzvah? And I said, look, Ace,
Speaker 1: either way it's going to be what it is. We're
Speaker 1: either going to have it on the eighteenth and it's
Speaker 1: going to be incredible, or we're going to push it
Speaker 1: and it's going to be incredible. Either way, we're gonna
Speaker 1: get through this. And you know, it's not just the party.
Speaker 1: I know that I'm talking a lot about the party.
Speaker 1: Ace worked for over He started going to Hebrew school
Speaker 1: when he was in fourth grade. You have to learn
Speaker 1: an entire new language with an entirely different alphabet. You
Speaker 1: read from the Torah, you have to write a speech
Speaker 1: about what it is that you're reading about. You have
Speaker 1: a half Torah portion, you have all these things. So
Speaker 1: it's a lot of work also to have a bar mitzvah.
Speaker 1: It's not just the party, which is obviously incredible in heaven,
Speaker 1: but it's also a service where you, as the bar
Speaker 1: mitzvah about Mitzvah, lead the service and you you know,
Speaker 1: read from this scripture, which is the Torah, which is
Speaker 1: the most you know, the holiest. I don't know, I
Speaker 1: guess book. You know, we have his Jews and it's
Speaker 1: a scroll and and so there's there's two really important parts.
Speaker 1: And so he'd worked also so hard we'd like basically
Speaker 1: focus just solely on the bar Mitzvah. He wasn't able
Speaker 1: to play the sports he loved to play because he
Speaker 1: would have tutoring and he would have to go to
Speaker 1: meet with the canter and all this stuff. So it
Speaker 1: was like an incredibly emotional time. And ultimately I said
Speaker 1: to Claire and Catherine, if we can move this party,
Speaker 1: and you know it doesn't it doesn't affect us financially,
Speaker 1: like if we can, if we can just move it,
Speaker 1: if it works for the vendors and for the the
Speaker 1: temple and for the restaurant, let's do it, because I
Speaker 1: don't A said to me, like, I really don't want
Speaker 1: to like have this celebration when so many of my
Speaker 1: friends are feeling so much pain. And I thought, what
Speaker 1: an incredible thing for him to be able to at
Speaker 1: you know, thirteen years old, put into words. And so
Speaker 1: miraculously we were able to completely just shift the bar
Speaker 1: mitzvah a few weeks and do it on February eighth
Speaker 1: instead of January eighteenth. The temple was available. Our rabbi,
Speaker 1: who is beyond words, who I've known since I was
Speaker 1: a teenager. I went to camp at a camp called
Speaker 1: hess Kramer, and he was like the rabbinical student there
Speaker 1: when I was a camper, and he married Rob and
Speaker 1: I because Rob's family and my family both belonged to
Speaker 1: the same temple randomly, so my mom like had her
Speaker 1: confirmation at this temple, I mean when she was, you know,
Speaker 1: a teenager. So he was supposed to go actually on
Speaker 1: a sabbatical, and January eighteenth was going to be his
Speaker 1: last uh bar Mitzvah service that he was going to do,
Speaker 1: and he he even said like, I'll wait till February
Speaker 1: eighth and then I'll go on my sabbatical. So it
Speaker 1: was just like everything just sort of was was looking
Speaker 1: like we were going to be able to switch it
Speaker 1: and it was going to be seamless as seamless as
Speaker 1: it could be. We were definitely gonna lose some guests
Speaker 1: who we love, but we also understood completely. And on
Speaker 1: January thirteenth, my mom or January twelfth, actually my mom
Speaker 1: went back in the hospital and I was just like,
Speaker 1: you know what, let's do this. Let's just switch it.
Speaker 1: And so we did, and it ended up being the
Speaker 1: best choice for our family because on February eighth, Saturday,
Speaker 1: my mom was able to be at aces ber Mitzvah.
Speaker 1: She even came to the party for a little bit.
Speaker 1: She our whole family was there, and I don't know.
Speaker 1: It was just like it was. It was incredibly special.
Speaker 1: Ace loves loves loves to ski. On my first date
Speaker 1: with Rob, he said to me that skiing was a
Speaker 1: very big part of his life and I was like, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: I mean it's not a big part of mine, but
Speaker 1: we'll see. And so far two out of three of
Speaker 1: my kids are obsessed with skiing, Ace especially, And so
Speaker 1: we decided to make Kat turn Catch into like a
Speaker 1: ski shellet to be like, and we called it Operate Ace.
Speaker 1: And so when you first walked in, there was like
Speaker 1: all this snow everywhere and a huge neon sign that
Speaker 1: said you're an Ace, and like it's so first of all,
Speaker 1: I just want to say that I know that this
Speaker 1: is insane, Like I know that the fact that there's
Speaker 1: merch at these parties for thirteen year olds is mentally ill.
Speaker 1: But whatever, we did it, and Ace actually designed them.
Speaker 1: There's a brand called Essentials that is just a very
Speaker 1: cool brand, and Ace wanted to do like a riff
Speaker 1: on that, and so his sweatshirt said Ace Centrals Asentials
Speaker 1: established twenty twelve because that's when he was born. And
Speaker 1: we had that like the whole area for the merchants
Speaker 1: at like Ace's ski shop, and there were ski lifts
Speaker 1: and skis everywhere. And one thing that my party planner
Speaker 1: did that I thought was just so amazing was there
Speaker 1: were framed family pictures of us and all of our
Speaker 1: friends all over the venue, which I thought was just
Speaker 1: like the most amazing, beautiful little touch. I had soccer
Speaker 1: Bit come and they are a Swedish candy brand. They
Speaker 1: do like a bunch of gummies, but it has like
Speaker 1: no red dye and no bad stuff in it, and
Speaker 1: they were delicious. They did the candy. We had an
Speaker 1: incredible DJ and dancers. I worked so hard on the montage,
Speaker 1: so at bar Mitzvah's there's always like a little video
Speaker 1: with pictures of the child from growing up in the family.
Speaker 1: I worked so hard on this with this amazing man
Speaker 1: named Ari who literally he went through six iterations of
Speaker 1: the montage with me until it was like perfect. I think,
Speaker 1: he I hope he'll work with me again because I
Speaker 1: have two more bermitsupposed to do after this. And I
Speaker 1: cried literally from the beginning of the day. I actually
Speaker 1: started crying at the rehearsal on Thursday, and then at
Speaker 1: the end of the Romtzvah. Rob and I both gave
Speaker 1: a speech at the end of the service, and I
Speaker 1: hysterically cried during my speech and Rob was like, come on,
Speaker 1: come on, you can do it. You can do it.
Speaker 1: And literally two seconds into Rob speaking, he started hysterical crying.
Speaker 1: So we were both It was just like a really
Speaker 1: emotional day and it goes by so quickly. After the ceremony,
Speaker 1: I had Courage bagel, which if you're in LA is
Speaker 1: the best bagel in Los Angeles, hands down. So we
Speaker 1: like hung out, had some bagels. Then we came back.
Speaker 1: We rested for a little bit, we went to the
Speaker 1: party and it's like this incredible and first of all,
Speaker 1: it's so expensive. It's a wedding, so I can't say
Speaker 1: the final amount because I don't even think my husband
Speaker 1: knows how much because I literally like sold my soul
Speaker 1: to get as far it's the done. But I really,
Speaker 1: I I don't know. I don't regret one minute of it.
Speaker 1: I am so sad it's over, Like I cannot believe,
Speaker 1: like I have that like sadness after a party when
Speaker 1: it's just like you work so hard on something. And
Speaker 1: I had weekly meetings with my party planner, and now
Speaker 1: it's done, and like business just goes on as usual
Speaker 1: and I only I have three years until I get
Speaker 1: to do rules is but to see, I mean, there's
Speaker 1: all the extra stuff, which is crazy, and it's you know,
Speaker 1: bringing in snow is you know, insane. But at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, what it's really about is like
Speaker 1: making these incredible special memories for people that you love
Speaker 1: so much, your family, your friends, for me and for Rob.
Speaker 1: Our friends and our family are so intertwined. All of
Speaker 1: my friends know my parents, know his parents, all of
Speaker 1: his friends. You know, these are my friends from high school.
Speaker 1: These are my friends from elementary school who I get
Speaker 1: to raise my kids with. And my son has gone
Speaker 1: to the same school since kindergarten, so these are friends
Speaker 1: of his that he has been in school with since kindergarten.
Speaker 1: And when I was putting together the montage and I
Speaker 1: was looking at all these pictures and of all these memories,
Speaker 1: and of like how loved my son is and how
Speaker 1: loved we are as a family, and how how tough
Speaker 1: the last couple months have been for my family, with
Speaker 1: my mom being so sick and the chance that she
Speaker 1: wasn't going to be able to celebrate this moment with
Speaker 1: us or be here with us. It was like everything,
Speaker 1: like the emotion just sort of like takes you over.
Speaker 1: And really what I felt was gratitude and like so
Speaker 1: grateful that I will have this memory for the rest
Speaker 1: of my life with all these people that I love,
Speaker 1: and that I got to see my son just so
Speaker 1: filled with love and supported in a way that like
Speaker 1: I feel like all you ever want is for your
Speaker 1: kids or for you or for you know, to be seen.
Speaker 1: And I felt like this night was so ace and
Speaker 1: it was so us as a family. It's funny when
Speaker 1: I welcomed when I said my speech, I welcomed everybody
Speaker 1: to my bot mitzvah because that's what it felt like.
Speaker 1: As had to keep reminding me, Mom, this is my
Speaker 1: bar mitzvah, like this is for me, And I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I get it, but like really it's for me. But
Speaker 1: it was so incredible to have a night where it's
Speaker 1: like the world feels so heavy right now in so
Speaker 1: many ways for so many different people, and nobody is
Speaker 1: any different, Like my situation was my mom. But but
Speaker 1: some families lost their homes, some families lost everything that
Speaker 1: they own, some family who knows what people are going
Speaker 1: through in their lives, like literally you never know. These
Speaker 1: are only the things that I even know about. But
Speaker 1: it was like one night where everybody just came together
Speaker 1: for one for the same goal, which was just to
Speaker 1: like have fun and and celebrate. And I just am
Speaker 1: so like I can't get over it. I can't get
Speaker 1: over the night and and what and what it was like,
Speaker 1: and like I just want to look at the pictures
Speaker 1: all day long. I had the most incredible photographers, these guys,
Speaker 1: John and Joseph, and they were just, you know, so incredible,
Speaker 1: and they were always like whenever I turn around, they
Speaker 1: were I got to see a few of the pictures
Speaker 1: and they were just they caught every moment. And and
Speaker 1: now like when I keep going over it, I'm like, wait,
Speaker 1: what happened at this time? What happened at this time?
Speaker 1: What happened at this time? But I feel like I'll
Speaker 1: have these pictures now to remember for the rest of
Speaker 1: my life, and I just I don't know, I feel
Speaker 1: I feel really I definitely went for it, Like I
Speaker 1: definitely was like, we're gonna do it, We're gonna do
Speaker 1: it right. The crazy thing was that every single time
Speaker 1: my party planner was so incredible, and every single time
Speaker 1: I like didn't have a drink, there would be like
Speaker 1: another drink. So I definitely had some tequila. But I
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I was able to be
Speaker 1: present and to see this incredible experience through the eyes
Speaker 1: of my child and for him to be like so
Speaker 1: lifted up with so much love and support is all
Speaker 1: I could really ask for. Like I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean it was really we had an arcade that
Speaker 1: that had like signed that said Ace's Arcade, and then
Speaker 1: we had like a claw game that had all of
Speaker 1: these different like there was like, uh gift cards or
Speaker 1: I had the DJs. There's this thing now where like
Speaker 1: if kids dance and they like are really participating, they
Speaker 1: at prizes. So I handed out some spider sweatshirts, which
Speaker 1: is always a big hit. Shout out to Jen Meyer
Speaker 1: and I I I just like, I don't know. There's
Speaker 1: like times in your life where you just feel like
Speaker 1: the work you put in and and the love that
Speaker 1: you give sort of like it's you don't always feel
Speaker 1: like it comes back. And I just felt I don't know,
Speaker 1: I just felt so grateful and happy and it felt
Speaker 1: like the perfect night, Like I don't know, it just
Speaker 1: it literally felt like the most incredible night. And I
Speaker 1: I'm aware that, like in La bar mitzvah's kind of
Speaker 1: become this thing. There's that that movie You're not Invited
Speaker 1: to my bar Mitza that I'm saying the movie, I'm
Speaker 1: aware that bar Mitzva has become this thing where it's
Speaker 1: like everyone's just trying to like, oh, do the next
Speaker 1: and it's they become like the status symbol. And that's
Speaker 1: not what this was. I'm not gonna say it was
Speaker 1: like a simple bar mitzva because it wasn't. It was
Speaker 1: over the top, it was fancy, it was all the things.
Speaker 1: It was expensive, but it was at its core anchored
Speaker 1: in so much love and so much pride and so
Speaker 1: much happiness, and it had nothing to do like you
Speaker 1: can throw the best party, you could spend hundreds of
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars and it could be like you could
Speaker 1: feel nothing. You know that it doesn't. And at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, what really matters is that is
Speaker 1: like the way in which when you go to some
Speaker 1: place and you feel like, okay, like this feels cozy
Speaker 1: to me, this feels fun to me, This feels. This
Speaker 1: feels like I'm I'm getting you know, what I came
Speaker 1: here for. And I felt like every single person at
Speaker 1: that party felt that way, like, oh my gosh. Also
Speaker 1: the horror, like when we were lifting up, they lifted
Speaker 1: up me and Raw and Ace and then Jewels and
Speaker 1: Gus and they were like when we came home, Gus
Speaker 1: that I can't wait for three years because then I
Speaker 1: get to go up on that chair again. It's just
Speaker 1: like it was just every single person had the best time.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I almost forgot. My friend Jamie Gleisher
Speaker 1: lives in New York. She is incredibly talented. She makes
Speaker 1: these insane beaded bracelets and necklaces and sun like bedazzled
Speaker 1: sunglasses and mirrors. And she flew in from New York
Speaker 1: and I had her come out and do a bead
Speaker 1: bar and it was so insane. I am going to
Speaker 1: share pictures on the Instagram. And then I had this
Speaker 1: thing called Dragon's Breath, which is like this candy that
Speaker 1: you eat and when you blow out, it's like you're
Speaker 1: blowing out steam not steam smoke, but it's not smoke.
Speaker 1: I don't even know. It was amazing. Basically every single
Speaker 1: thing that was at this party was a shared vision
Speaker 1: of me and my planners. And I feel like I
Speaker 1: cannot say enough good things about every single person that
Speaker 1: was involved in that night. Every single waiter at Catch,
Speaker 1: every single bartender, every the manager, the security, the oh
Speaker 1: my god, the security. There was all this paparazzi outside
Speaker 1: in the security. The security was like getting umbrellas to
Speaker 1: like shield kids from It was just everybody was just
Speaker 1: so incredible and kind and it just felt like the
Speaker 1: best night. And I can be the kind of person
Speaker 1: sometimes to find like the one thing that wasn't great
Speaker 1: and focus on that, because I don't know, sometimes that's
Speaker 1: easier than just feeling like full of love and gratitude.
Speaker 1: And I can honestly save that today and this whole week.
Speaker 1: I just feel like I'm on cloud nine, and that
Speaker 1: my mom was able to be there, that my best
Speaker 1: friends were able to be there, that my son was
Speaker 1: able to have this incredible experience where he could just
Speaker 1: be wrapped in so much love and so much support
Speaker 1: is just something I'll never forget. And I cannot start, like,
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to start working on Jewels's. I have
Speaker 1: three years, so I got to really I got to
Speaker 1: out do myself, so I wonder. I'm trying to think about,
Speaker 1: like where I'll go next, what I'll do next. I
Speaker 1: kept teasing Rob, like wait till the musical guest comes out.
Speaker 1: Of course I didn't hire a musical guest, but I
Speaker 1: was just making him squirm a little bit because he
Speaker 1: was so scared at what I did. But even he
Speaker 1: was like, it was the perfect party, and I loved it.
Speaker 1: And I'm so grateful that you guys were even interested
Speaker 1: in this kind of thing in my life, in my
Speaker 1: children's lives. I am just you know, I'm grateful. I
Speaker 1: realized everyone was a couple parents were saying to me,
Speaker 1: like when I would see them at school, like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, we can't wait for the Bermutsvah. It's going
Speaker 1: to be so epic. The kids are so excited. I
Speaker 1: couldn't understand like what they were excited about, Like I
Speaker 1: knew that, like it was going to be a great party.
Speaker 1: Obviously I'm amazing. But I finally realized when Kim walked
Speaker 1: in that the kids were most excited because they know
Speaker 1: that Kim is my best friend, and they knew that
Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian would be there and that was like the
Speaker 1: real that was the real draw. I couldn't understand. I
Speaker 1: kept being like Ace, why, Like what do they think
Speaker 1: is going to happen at this ber Mitza, Like what
Speaker 1: is it going to be? Like? I couldn't understand it.
Speaker 1: And then I realized, Oh, this is what it is.
Speaker 1: And because she's just the best of the best, she
Speaker 1: took pictures with every single kid, like a kid would
Speaker 1: look over and shed be like, you want a picture.
Speaker 1: I was just like, Oh, this is it, this is
Speaker 1: what's happening. But it's a night I will never forget
Speaker 1: and I can't wait to show you guys more pictures.
Speaker 1: And anybody that voted on the thing saying they didn't
Speaker 1: want Bermtsvah content, you should just follow me because I'm
Speaker 1: a ber Mitzvah queen now, so you know, I'm going
Speaker 1: to do my best to just bring some bar Mitzvah
Speaker 1: cheer for the next week and then I promise I'll
Speaker 1: stop talking about it. But Ace had the night of
Speaker 1: his life and we had the night of our lives,
Speaker 1: and I am so thankful that we were able to
Speaker 1: pull it off, even with you know, family stuff and
Speaker 1: fires and the world being a complete dumpster. I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's just like we were able to do it. And
Speaker 1: it's funny. My dad actually today sent me he found
Speaker 1: my bar Mitzvah book from October ninth, nineteen ninety three,
Speaker 1: which I cannot wait to look at. And I remember
Speaker 1: at my mitzvah at the end of the night, everybody
Speaker 1: jumped in the pool in their clothes and that was
Speaker 1: so fun, and it's like a memory that I'm forty
Speaker 1: four years old. I remember everything about my bot Mitzvah
Speaker 1: until I had my wedding. That was like my favorite
Speaker 1: day of my life. So clearly I love to be
Speaker 1: the center of attention, and even if it's my child's
Speaker 1: you know, moment, I'll somehow make it about me. Just kidding,
Speaker 1: I won't. It's all about Ace and I cannot wait
Speaker 1: to get all the pictures back from our photographer and
Speaker 1: a video from my videographer. And it's a memory and
Speaker 1: a night that I'll cherish for the rest of my life.
