Dr. Dolittle or something like that

Becca loved having Bear (my sister’s dog from NYC) come to visit Izzy. She loves animals.

Carl with Carson’s bird.

Bec especially loves fish; we watch Finding Nemo over and over and over again. We got her a beta and we all call him “Shish”. The day after we got Shish, Becca was really tired all day because she woke up early and spent a long time watching the fish (which sits on her dresser next to her crib).

In the spirit of things

I am still in the spirit of “good tidings” even if it has been over a month since Christmas. The picture above is our Christmas card picture (it’s now a “winter card” since they’re just now getting mailed out).

Becca helped decorate the tree.

We opened presents.

Adam tried out the tent that Bec received for Christmas; Becca was really not happy about Adam getting stuck in her tent…

I’ve decided that I like winter because of the warm Christmas memories and the fact that I’ll appreciate spring even more when it finally arrives.

Over the holidays my whole family came into town for Henry’s baby blessing on December 27, 2009. My sister Becca and her husband Carl from NYC, my brother B.J and his wife Jennifer from San Francisco, Jen’s mom Virginia Evans from Los Angeles, my Aunt and Uncle Craig and Anneli Smith and their kids Courtney, Ethan and Dylan from Salt Lake City, Utah and my Aunt Miriam Smith from California. So over the next few posts, I’ll try to include some of the festivities.
