Jake celebrated his Bar Mitzvah with an awesome Star Wars themed party at Maneeley’s.  When we met the family a few months back, we were immediately struck by how passionate Jake’s dad, Jeff, was about the entire event.  It was so heartwarming to see his enthusiasm over the day and this moment in his son’s life.  He made sure to be present for all the important moments leading up to the day in order to lead Jake by example.  Although Jake’s mom, Stephanie, does not come from a Jewish background, her husband’s joy and excitement was infectious.  She embraced the moment and the day and she went above and beyond to make it amazing.  The cake, the decorations, and the table settings were fantastic.  She even put the hard work into making all the candles for the candle lighting ceremony.  We were beyond impressed with how well everything came together.  We had such a nice time meeting everyone and capturing this special day.  We could see from everyone’s expressions how proud they were of Jake and how excited they were to be celebrating with him.
