• Connected Celebrations

  Well despite getting the colds that the Kids brought from their mother's this Christmas I have managed to get a few pictures from Christmas Edited. I know to some people this may seem strange but at My family Christmas celebration we celebration and honor Hanukkah along with other Christian traditions because Jesus celebrated it. My sister and her husband love to find the prophecies about the Messiah in the old testament and then apply them to Jesus to show how they are fulfilled through Him. So after all the presents are put away in the cars we light the menorah and then take communion as a family. Then pray together over any member that may be hurt or really having a hard time this last year. It is like giving the whole family a blessing before the new year. I love this part of our Christmas and I think it really gives our kids a dose of the true meaning of Christmas instead of gimmies that always come with Christmas.

  Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from that night.
