DH and I are still in Arizona living with his father and step mother so that's where we're spending Passover.We love spending holidays with them anyway, so that's where we would have gone under different circumstances. SMIL and I are doing the cooking for the 25 or so guests. It's a lot of work but I'm really enjoying it and learning from her.
This year is particularly meaningful to me because I can relate the exodus from slavery to freedom to DH's struggles from nearly dying to recovery (though not nearly as quickly or as complete as he had hoped) and essentially comng back to life.

We are going to my parents for the seders, but, my mom and I basically split the cooking. I kasher my house for Passover, too, so, I can cook here and bring there and then we'll be home for chol hamoed and end days.
The Knot lost my info, but, I've been married since 6/19/05!
For the rest of the holiday we'll be in our apartment.
I'm going to my mom's tomorrow to help with the cooking and I'm making some of the stuff that MIL usually makes.
When DH and I went shopping, we got a package of 16 plastic tablecloths so that we can cover the kitchen table for the next 16 years. It's so ridiculous but I was so happy to thinking of spending all those years together. (Yes, I'm a cheesy newlywed.)

EDD 10/3/13
Tonight FI and I are going to my sister's house - she lives 5 minutes from us, and Fi's parents are also about 5 minutes away. It will be me, Fi, my sister, brother-in-law, nephew, my parents who are visiting from upstate NY, Fi's parents, Fi's sister who is in from NYC, and my sister's supervisor at work and her husband. I'm looking forward to being with both of our families. The only people missing are my brother and sister-in-law who live in North Carolina.
Tomorrow night it will be at Fi's parents condo, with us and my Mom - unfortunately my Dad has to go back to upstate, NY tomorrow morning. My mom will stay the week!
Tonight we are having a seder at our Rabbi's with his wife, his daughter, his MIL, and a few congregants (not which ones). Tomorrow we are actually hosting; FI is excited and hopes it goes well so that we can continue to host one night in the future (though we may do so anyway). While it meant lots of food and supplies shopping, it'll be worth it when we are tired from a long night, all we have to do is go upstairs.

Yep- you got it!
We had an early seder with my parents/family friends that has been a tradition for many years, in fact, it was the 21st such Seder.
Last night we did NADA as we are still catching up on life from Israel
Tonight we got to my boss's house!
We had the seder last night with the FILs here in Israel. It was my first Hebrew seder so it was a real learning experience. We are hosting friends from the States for the rest of the holiday. Come visit!!
