Eight Crazy Days and Nights...

I have always considered myself to have two faiths.  I'm LDS but being Jewish will always be part of me.  Of course explaining this to my children is always really confusing.  So is that whole they are Puerto Rican thing.  I don't think they get it at all but that is okay, all these things will come in time.  

Right now though I am starting to teach a little more about the Jewish faith.  I've meant too for a long time but honestly I've been meaning to dye Easter eggs with the kids for 4 years but I never get around to it.  I still have the kit from when I lived in Las Vegas.  But after getting some encouragement from my professors and Jewish friends we have started with an easy one: Hanukkah.  

Of course the kids were thoroughly confused but when I told them they got a small gift each night their love of Hanukkah grew.  The stories I shared though were not that interesting so thankfully Elmo stepped in.  



To be honest our celebration isn't exactly kosher but at least it is a start :)  It goes well with our un-kosher Christian holidays!
