While uploading pictures for the next post, I ran across a few photos on my camera that I forgot to share. I know we are halfway through January, but I wanted to share these few pictures from Christmas. In case I forgot to mention in previous Christmas posts, Marilyn and Gene hosted a seven fish dinner on Christmas Eve. The Budraitises originated from Lithuania, which is predominately Catholic. The Christmas Eve seven fish dinner is a Catholic tradition (since they abstain from eating meat on holy days- a dinner of fish it became!). It's always fun to do, especially since Marilyn makes some pretty mean crab cakes. But we like to think other Budraitises are doing the same thing in Lithuania on the same night, which somehow brings us closer together in the spirit of Christmas!
Christmas morning we spent at Northside Baptist Church in Troy with my mom, Wes, and Kristi. I enjoyed being in church on Christmas Day. It really helps keep things in perspective and helps everyone stop and think about Jesus in all of the busyness we get into during the holidays. As usual, the church was adorned with beautiful poinsettias, which in my book meant a perfect photo-op. :)
