Christmas with the Burns Family

This year, instead of going to Matt's parents house for Christmas morning, everyone came to our house. It was so much fun to just be able to stay home! We started with a very yummy lunch and then opened presents.



Al & Brooke got both of the girls Disney Princess Talking Nurseries

Jeremy, Tiffany, & Destiny got Anna Beth

Her very own laptop

A pretty sweater

And a Roll Tide shirt as Anna Beth calls it!




And a vacuum cleaner (I really wish it worked because she loves pushing it around!)

Granddaddy & Grandmomma gave Anna Beth along with lots of other things:

Her bedding for her big girl bed


Matt & I didn't do too bad ourselves! We had a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Morning

Anna Beth was so excited Christmas morning. Everything she opened, she would exclaim, "Oh, Boy." We would ask what is it? And with as much enthusiasm, she would say, "I don't know!" She was so overwhelmed by everything! Santa brought her a Disney Princess dress up trunk that she has had so much fun with, an Elmo backpack, books, movies, sleeping bag, and lots more!

Getting ready for Santa

After we came home from Mama and Daddy's, we had to get our cookies for Santa ready!

Christmas Eve at Nana and Paw's

It is a tradition to go to my parents house on Christmas Eve. Anna Beth really had the hang of opening presents this year. Her big gift from my parents was a Barbie Jeep. We put it together on Christmas Day in our living room. It has been there every since then because it has been so cold outside. She has no idea that it actually moves. She thinks she is the coolest thing sitting in it watching television. She will not know what to think when we let her ride it outside.

Santa's Village

We have planned to go to Santa's Village several times during the month of December, but got rained out everytime. We finally got to go the Tuesday before Christmas and so did everyone else! It was so crowded that it was miserable. We could barely move. We didn't even get to see Santa because the line was so long I knew Anna Beth would never wait that long.


We did get to:

Write a Letter to Santa




See the Reindeer




Decorate a Cookie




Make snowman pictures

Have a good time with Mommy & Daddy!

O' Christmas Tree

I did not commit to doing the December Daily because everyone knows I usually only post about once a month. I know, I'm not doing very well at this blogging thing. This year I managed to get up two Christmas trees. I wanted to share Anna Beth's bedroom tree. I went with a pink and green theme. I think it turned out really cute. I posted some of my favorite ornaments on her tree.

Happy Birthday Princess Lillian

Friday night we all gathered at Lane's Salon to celebrate Lillian's 3rd Birthday. Such a WONDERFUL idea! There is nothing Anna Beth loves more than make-up and getting her fingernails painted. I have a feeling this is a bad sign for things to come! Teenage years may be very expensive! Anyway, the girls had so much fun! Thanks to all of the girls at the salon for being so patient with all of our little princesses!
