Alana's Baby Naming

Alana had her baby naming at Congregation Beth Evergreen (CBE) today. Daddy held her up for all to see (like Simba in the Lion King). :-) 

 Rabbi Jamie said the prayers, unwraped Mommy's tallit and gave Alana her Hebrew name, Chava. Chava is Alana's paternal great grandmother's name. 

 Brian Zatzkin had the honor of holding Alana as we all wrapped her.

 Congratulations, Alana, on becoming a member of our Jewish community, and thank you, Brian for being part of this meaningful day!

Happy New Year and Many S'mores

It's New Year's Eve and Hank got to celebrate with his very first s'mores experience.

First, he helped Daddy roast the marshmallows over the fire.

Then we made the sandwiches.

Brian and Erica were ready to dig in.

Hank thought his was pretty yummy in the tummy.

 Happy New Year's Eve!

A Cool Day at Copper Mountain's Crittertown

The Zatzkins ,our good friends of many, many years, are in town from Houston! 

 Soooo, we headed  to the Copper Mountain ski resort. 

Here's Brian enjoying the slopes.

 Meanwhile, Hank got to hang out with the ladies. 

He started his morning off with his very first hot cocoa ever. 

The verdict? 

 "That's my favorite!"

After the warmup, it was off to Crittertown. 

Up first was tubing.

Check out the raw footage:

After a long day, Erica, Hank, Blue Blanket and Green Blanket made their way back to the car.

What a great day . . . and guess what, next time Hank wants to ski!
