Holiday spirit

Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas!  We had a great time waking up with our little boy to open gifts and celebrate.  This year was an easy Christmas for us as far as gift giving and Archer are concerned...we have a feeling we will not be able to get away with the same in years to come!  I got Colin a home brew kit-which seems to be a really complicated science kit (as Colin calls it) but he is eager to start and figure it all out.  Colin got me a wonderful date night which includes a babysitter, dinner, and then tickets Cirque du Soleil (YAY!!!).  Our family and friends were also so generous with us this year and we are extremely grateful!

After we opened gifts and had coffee we packed up to head to Mandeville (where Colin's family lives).  Once we got to packing our overnight trip turned into three days, seeing as you have to pack the same amount regardless.  It was so nice to stay with Colin's parents!  With me in school and Colin working full-time we hardly get the chance to see them.  It was a nice couple of days spent relaxing, EATING, and getting to play with our nephew Brody who is one of the cutest babes around!  It is funny to think next Christmas there will be four babies instead of just two!

We are headed back to Mandeville again tomorrow because Colin's brother Mark and his wife Lauren will be visiting from Salt Lake City.  

Archer has continued to grow and impress us!  Everyone thinks he is very vocal for his age (he never stops talking...we have even caught him talking in his sleep).  I suppose he has some shoes to fill....and a chatterbox mom that he spends his days with and a daddy who cannot wait to talk to him and hear all about his day when he gets home from work!  He has started sucking his thumb now when he feels like it (and I hate to do this to him..but just tonight while he was in the bath he found his little pee pee and held onto it for a while-pulling it around this way and that...PRETTY FUNNY!  Don't worry, we have it on video...once again POOR GUY).  He has also been sleeping like a champ, going to bed at 9pm, waking around 5am to eat for 10 minutes and back to sleep until 8am.  It is almost too good to be true, but we are LOVING it!  

Alright, time for bed!  Have a Happy New Year!!!!!
