Christmas has come and gone like a whirlwind. We rang in the New Year, yeah 2010!!!!, and now we are settling in. I always love January. It is almost like you get to take a deep breath and relax after the craziness of Christmas.

Mya had her Christmas dance review. She is so fun to watch. She loves it!!!

We celebrated Christmas Eve together as a family this year. We had dinner on fancy Christmas plates, opened a present, read a Christmas story and watched a movie. The kids loved it and I think it will be an Archibald tradition moving forward.

I think Santa unloaded at our house!!

We hope everyone had a Happy Holiday and a wonderful New Year!!!!

Today was Caleb's Christmas sing-along for his class. Wellsville elementary always has each grade do a Christmas sing-along program the week before Christmas. They are so fun to go watch and Caleb has been excited about it for the last few days. He has been practicing the songs at home and got so excited as soon as he saw us this morning.

He has so much fun with the kids in his class. He is the friendliest soul. Everywhere we go, we run into someone that knows Caleb. I hope he is always like this and is friends with everyone!

Christmas is getting crazy right now!! All the last minute shopping, parties and Santa visits. I am starting to get overwhelmed, but I am holding it together!! Here are the pictures from the visit with Santa -- some went better than others.

I am especially thankful for my kids. They are definitely rambunctious, but I wouldn't trade them in for the world! Melanie recently took our family photos (the first ones since Caleb was a baby) and here are a few of them.

Caleb, too cool for school! Was just putting up with this to get it over with!!!!

Stockton, not quite sure what is going on and not willing to perform.

Mya, our little poser. Loves to have her picture taken!

The random shots are so cute!! Hanging on to dad thinking he is sooo big!!!!

So not happy!! I was cold and I was wayyyy onery!!!

It's been exactly one year since I attempted to blog. I have decided I am going to do this again.

This is us, Craig, Amy, Caleb (7), Mya (4) and Stockton (18 months).

What a great looking family!!!
