December brought lots of fun and activity to the Burton household! Here are two of my favorite Santas with our cute 2-month old boy...sacked out of course.
Logan and Beth wanted to get in on the Santa action... Tag still sacked out. :)
I love this pic of all the kids. They are so much fun! And Tag has brought such joy to our house. They all love to hold him...
Caroline's famous Annual Cookie Decorating Party! Above are all the entries...pretty creative, huh? And let me tell you...the competition gets pretty heated!
But our lovely judge never lets the pressure get to her. She is calm, cool, and collected... (I'm not trying to butter her up...I only got Honorable Mention this year!)
The kids had their own categories. Faith Anna won Most Creative, Logan won Most Colorful, Peter won Most Complex.... and not pictured because of pouting/embarrassment, Beth won Most Festive.
The boys on the couch. Maybe Tag will get in on the decorating action next year. For this year, looks like he's just dreaming about it.
And our 6th Annual Gingerbread Decorating Party at the Burton Casa. This year because we were making 3 houses, we decided to leave the homemade recipe and rolling pin on the shelf. We streamlined a bit with the premade box kits...and let me tell you, MUCH EASIER! :) Luke is our construction engineer and he is helping the girls with their assembly.
Caroline creating her masterpiece
The boys did their own house this year...
The finished "Girl House"... Beautiful, isn't it?
Caroline's completed work of art. Note the snowman, wreath, mistletoe, and of course the red carpet. This must be where the celebrities gather before Christmas...
The finished "Boy House" complete with igloo, campfire, mistletoe hanging, and an originally designed chimney. These guys went for it! (They thought they were competing against the girls, but I put a quick stop to that. :) Even without the incentive of a competition, they were still very creative!)
Let the candy-picking begin!
Tag started smiling around 6 weeks. He gave me a huge grin on December 1st.... and has just turned into the smiley man ever since. Here he is smiling with Beth.
Huge grin with Faith Anna. Do you see that dimple on his right cheek? Just like Beth's!
Logan has the record for getting the most smiles out of him. Must be a brother thing. :)
Isn't he cute? We sure think so. All the smiles have made this such a fun December! I love this picture of our boy at 2 months.
