12.24.11: Happy Birthday Audrey! {127}
This idea came from Pinterest and I'll definitely be doing it for each girl on every birthday :) Hard to believe that 3 years ago I didn't even know if Baby Burns was a boy or a girl...and look at her now! Definitely the best surprise ever!
12.23.11: Christmas at Grandma's {126}
Chris got me an awesome gift- the Kindle Fire! I've had it for a week now but have barely had a chance to play around with it. I can't wait to download some books!
12.22.11: Audrey's 3 year pictures {125}
I took advantage of the gorgeous weather we had and took pictures of sweet Audrey Cate. It was a great way to spend the first day of winter break! I just followed Audrey around, snapping away. She really liked walking down the hill in our front yard, then to the tree line at the street, then all the way back up the hill (aka "mountain.") She loved looking back and seeing how far she had walked. I'm so happy with how they came out! More here.

12.21.11: Butternut Squash {124}
Abigail loved it! She kept grabbing fistfuls and shoving it into her mouth. So cute! So messy!
12.20.11: Crinkle Cookies are Back! {123}
I love these cookies from Panera! I craved them when I was pregnant with Abigail but they're carb count was way too high...not this year!
12.19.11: Cocoa for my class {122}
I didn't want to wait until Wednesday to do something special with my class. So I decided to serve them hot cocoa while we watched Charlie Brown Christmas. The kids needed a little break in our routine and they've been so good with Winter Break approaching. I was setting up while they had recess and a bunch of them wanted to help...so a few of them poured the packets and a few of them stirred. I'm definitely doing this again!
12.18.11: Mr B's Light Show {121}
As we were feeding the girls dinner, Chris randomly suggested we head out to see the Light Festival. Audrey *loves* Christmas lights! When we drive home from Grandma's she's always on the lookout and screams when she sees them :) It was pretty cool- a bunch of little displays and lights strung up everywhere. Audrey loved it!
12.15.11: Giving Tree {118}
I'm so proud of my class! The brought in a bunch of presents (coats, clothes, & toys) for our little 4 year old girl. I took this picture before school started and 4 more kids brought in gifts that day! I bet she had a very Merry Christmas!
12.12.11: Playtime! {115}
I love that Abigail can just sit and occupy herself with a basket full of toys :)

12.10.11: Birthday Party {113}
Audrey's tea party was wonderful. She had so much fun playing with all of her friends and family. My favorite part was this moment, the moment we sang Happy Birthday. She looked so very happy. Three. WOW.
12.9.11: Footprints {112}
I was going back and forth between Abigail in her bedroom and Audrey in the bathtub. At one point Abby started laughing hard core. Audrey was in the bathtub and overheard us. I guess she didn't want to be left out so she got herself out of the tub and walked into Abby's room, stark naked! Her little wet footprints were all over the wood floor.
12.8.11: Cake balls! {111}
I've starting making cake balls and if you listen to Chris, they are the best things you'll ever taste. They are so easy! Bake a cake, crumble the cake. Add frosting and roll into balls. Refrigerate then cover with melted candy. Audrey helped me make the ones for her party. She pours all the ingredients into the mixing bowl. She runs away when I get the hand mixer out ("It's too loud! It's too much noise!") Actually, this time she came back and watched (very timidly) as I mixed, lol. They were heaven!
12.5.11: Dad's Helper {108}
When Chris started taking apart the vacuum, Audrey immediately went to get her tools to help. Chris was so cute with her :)
12.4.11: Advent thief! {107}
Audrey brought her step stool into the kitchen, took down the Advent calendar and opened door #24. I found the calendar lying in the dining room, in the corner. The only thing shocking about this is that more doors weren't opened!
12.3.11: Teething {106}
Abigail has 2 bottom teeth and her 3rd is just now appearing (right next to the bottom right.) She loves to gnaw on everything!
12.2.11: Leg Lamp {105}
My favorite Christmas movie is A Christmas Story. We watched it all the time when I was growing up. I love that TBS plays it for 24 hours on Christmas Eve. I really hope that my girls like it when they get older, too. I found this leg lamp a few years ago at Rite Aid. We also have an ornament for the tree :)
12.1.11: Sleeping Cinderella {104}
Audrey had to make sure that baby Cinderella was tucked in, too! Side note: the bed is from her doll house. It's way too small, which makes this even funnier :)
11.30.11: Advent Calendar {103}
Audrey super loves chocolate (like her mom!) So when friends gave her an Advent calendar that had little pieces of chocolate behind each door she was thrilled! And she really wanted to open all 24 :)
11.28.11: Comfy Couch {101}
Audrey wasn't feeling great so she came home and went directly to the couch. I love how the couch is such a place of comfort to her; whenever she doesn't feel well she asks to go "relax on the couch with a blanket."
11.27.11: 7 months old! {100}
I took Abby's 7 month pictures a day early (rather than 6-7 days late!) These pictures are getting harder to take because she's so distracted by everything around her! I got a few good ones nonetheless. She's such a pretty little baby.
