Christmas this year was great. The kids were precious as usual. We did a limited amount of gifts this year and they were more than blessed. Their adorable jammies from Grandma and Grandpa Martin were a hit. They always enjoy Christmas Jammies.
We spent the day with my parents and my sister and Nik. It was a calm day with lots of love!
We also celebrated Hanukkah this year. This was our second year participating in the Hanukkah tradition. I LOVE Hanukkah even more than Christmas. Christmas has been largely commercialized. It's all about the gifts no matter how much we read and talk about Jesus.
But, Hanukkah is a chance to celebrate something that really happened with the Jewish people that showed God's grace, provision, mercy and commitment to them. I love talking with the kids about the true light, Jesus, and how through the OT we see the holiday of Hanukkah differently. It's such an awesome piece of history.
Another Christmas has come and gone and Cole is now 9 turning 10 in 2015. Time flies and they grow and a piece of me each year goes with them! Love you darling babies.
