Ready...set...OPEN!
Getting ready to open her stocking...
Patiently waiting for presents!
Haven't you always wanted one of these?
Spencer went to take a shower...heard a series of loud crashes...yes he fell...in the shower! And when I say fell I guess the fall took 30 seconds cause everything kept coming down with him!

It was the night before Christmas...
Baking goodies with Aunt Marti and Uncle Spencer
Then we were off to the Christmas Concert where Hailey got to sing Away in a Manger with all the kiddos...
I told Mason to hold her hand...he took his job very seriously! I only worked with her on the song like 500 times, but who would think that Hailey would actually get a little stage fright!?
Yes it is blurry, but look closely...do you totally see Mason sneaking kisses to Hailey right there in front of everyone! Seriously! Too funny! That's my girl!

A little Burg Family Fun!
My first attendance to the Annual tree decorating at the Burg house! (my mom demands our help cause they have a 12 foot tree!) My dad sets the mood by jamming to some Christmas tunes in his one man band "Daddy-O"
Hailey taking Nora for the ride of her life!
Our Lammy usually has to turn her Hearing Ade's down when all 5 Burg children are present...let alone her 3 great-grandchildren! Madness I tell you!
Uncle Aaron...hopefully she won't loose all her dinner after the Uncles' are done with her!
Setting up the Nativity Set with Mi Mi
Lammy could you hold these for awhile?
Putting on the ornaments!...this is only half way up the tree!
Nate was away all weekend....he drove a van out to Cali to get the rest of our things from our house out there! We are unfortunately having to let it foreclose. After being on the market for 11 months and not able to rent it out we had to let it go! Which is fine becuase we are already in a house here. So we decided to leave in style by taking any and everything worth any money! Nate retrieved landscape lighting, a trampoline, ceiling fans, drapes, baby stuff, my grandma's china, and a bunch of other stuff that accidentally got left! I was so thankful!Meanwhile we enjoyed ourselves at the pre-season Mammoth game...can't you tell!








Binki's and candy!

Meeting Santa!



On that note...the girls got to meet Santa the other day! Hailey gave him a big ol' hug and told him how much she loved him! "What do you want for Christmas" Santa asked "ummm toys" my 3 year old replied! She is very specific! :) Hailey absolutely LOVES Christmas and everything that goes along with it! I really think that this is the first year that she truly "gets it!" Last year she kept mistaking Santa for Chucky (from Chucky Cheese) ha ha We love make believing about Santa, but also want Hailey to know what the true reason for the Holiday is...it's Jesus' Birthday! If you know Hailey at all you know how much she LOVES birthdays! So in her little simple mind hopefully she can make some connection. We are going to start a tradition of singing Jesus Happy Birthday on Christmas day!...When we go shopping for presents I tell her the presents are for Jesus' Birthday!

The Holly Jolly Jingle Jangle Christmas Party!



Any time you want your husband to get stuff done around the house...just throw a party...Nate and Russell were our slaves for the past month! It was awesome!




Though having all girls was not necessarily my first choice
God has graciously given me many reasons to rejoice
There is something magical about having all girls
from play rooms with kitchens, dress-up and dolls
to dreaming of days arm-in-arm at the malls
I love that with Daddy they build fence and mow
and to the park with pink ball gloves and bats they all go
I love having the excuse to buy adorable clothes
knowing each one will wear them as the other girl grows
I love being at Disneyland and standing in only one line
as the princesses are all that we have to find
I love when they all dance and play house and color
it would have to be more balanced if they had a brother
of course there is emotion and drama to spare
and extra time spent every morning on hair
But with it comes in-home slumber parties of three
with nightgowns, nail polish and small cups of tea
And giggles and squeals and lots of affection
coordinating Christmas dresses and great purse collection!
I love that one day they will all have each other
to stand beside at their weddings to watch each become mothers
I love having all girls...I truly do
and to Jesus who chose this for me, I simply say, Thank you!
