As the year closes, we are thankful for the addition of Archie to our family. We have gone from a couple to a family and we couldn't be happier. He is so happy and constantly making us laugh and smile. His personality is developing and he is quite the character. It is so fun seeing him grow and change. Each day is a joy. We are so excited to have the whole next year full or Archie! We hope for another wonderful 2013.
Archie with a favorite of his - Uncle Jimmy.
Oh, does he need a 2nd haircut!
Time for some presents at home. The paper is his favorite part.
Look! I have a farm!!
Yea! More paper to rip.
We headed down to Boise to stay with Great Grandparents Marien and Sam (Gigi and Papa Sam). Grandpa Fred and Grandma Jane, Uncle Josh, Uncle Ben & Aunt Cindy, and cousins Dash and Oren were there too. It was a big family Christmas that we all enjoyed. The last time we did this was in Boise 5 years ago - before Oren, Campbell, and Archie could attend. :)
Archie and Gigi! They both are looking good.
Christmas morning - traditional family stockings above the fireplace. Gigi starting making these in the 1960s and Grandma Jane has been adding all the new additions lately.
Mmmmm - more paper.
The whole Penning family.

More Cousins! - Makuni, Oren, Archie, Dash, and Beautiful Claire
Archie and Claire aren't too impressed with this!
Super cute shirt from Cindy and Ben
Quick trip to Vancouver for a night away. It was nice to have a little getaway - no laundry, dishes, or chores!
