Our "Blended" Family

As many of you know, we have a religiously "blended" home. With Lenore having been raised Jewish and Dusty being raised Methodist, we try to do a little bit of everything in our home with James.

The day we went to get our Christmas tree, was the second day of Hanukkah. We had brought the tree in the house just as it was getting dark and James was eager to light the Hanukkah candles! I'm so proud of him as he knows the prayers now, pretty much on his own and we do let him to light the candles (with adult supervision!!) I grabbed the camera and started to take pictures, as James lit the candles and recited the prayers. It wasn't until I was downloading the pictures into my computer, that I realized that James still had on his Santa hat that he had been wearing most of the day!!!!!

I guess there's no better proof of what a "blended" family the Ryans are!!!

Happy Holidays, one and ALL!!!!
