It's now halfway through January. The two months since Thanksgiving have flown by. This year, Isabel didn't puke on Christmas. Calvin puked a few days before, but didn't manage to pass it to the rest of us.

So we finally managed to have Christmas dinner with Bob and Alex! We spent the morning at Don and Evelyn's opening presents, most of which we left at their house. We just can't handle any more clutter at our small place. It will be relief when we are finally have a bigger house to sprawl out in.

Here are some pictures from Christmas. There's Calvin feeding the chickadees with sunflower seeds. Evelyn read them both stories, and Don once again gave in to Isabel's insistence that he make a puzzle with her. Calvin has even gotten to an age where he's able to "help."
