February felt like a fast, busy month, but I didn't take very many pictures!
We started the month attending an Interfaith World Harmony Celebration that was held at a Jewish Synagogue in Syracuse. It was a wonderful opportunity for our family. The World Harmony Celebration is a gathering of various faith groups in the Syracuse area who come together each year to worship in our respective ways through word and song. It was really interesting to see some of the other faith groups and learn more about them. Part of our church congregation sang a song called "The Miracle" about Christ and how He works a miracle in each of our lives as we are rescued through His sacrifice. Some of the other faith groups that participated were the Sikhs, Episcopal church, Catholic church, Hindus, Haudenosaunee Nation, Islam, and Unity church.
We have had such a mild winter. We are two feet below our average and it hasn't even felt very winter-ish this year. We did have one good snow storm in February. We got about a foot of snow and the kids had the day off school. To celebrate the snow day we made homemade soft pretzels and they were a hit. We dipped them in cinnamon and sugar and the kids loved them!
We celebrated Valentine's Day with school parties, play groups and special food for breakfast and dinner. The kids love Valentine's Day, and I love spreading love.
The kids had a week off from school for Winter Break. We tried to do some fun things while also taking care of business. Kimball and Rebecah went to the dentist and they got new glasses. The little ones went to story time at the library, had a play date with friends and we all went to the movies. I was going to take them to a bounce house, but Eden randomly got sick the morning we had it scheduled, so we saved that for the following week. Kimball had musical rehearsal two days and he and Joseph went night skiing one evening. The kids had a nice break, but they were all ready to get back to school after their week off.
New glasses.
