Well we have had an eventful year in the Burnett Family. Wade got a new job, we bought our first home, moved to Salt Lake, had a beautiful baby girl, and our beautiful baby boy just turned three!
Christmas was a lot of fun chaos at our home. We had G and G Shrader and Uncle Zach at our house for the holidays. It was a lot of fun to have them here and to see Jacob really enjoy the Santa Clause thing. We acted out the nativity, threw some reindeer feed o
ut in the snow and left cookies and celery for Santa and his reindeer. If I can figure out how to put the nativity video on I will, it was hysterical! My mom looked more like the tooth fairy than a wise man, but it was definitely something we will always remember. Maybe next year we will get Jacob to participate more.
We were really lame at sending our Christmas letter this year, but I plan on sending a Spring letter instead. We really enjoyed all the wonderful letters we received and hope all those pregnant people out there are doing well. I think 5 out the 6 people we know of are having girls. It must be a trend. When we had Jacob, everyone was having boys. Funny how that works.
As for now we are doing a lot of home improvements. The house needs a definite paint job, we are re-doing some of the flooring and hope to put a new vanity into the downstairs bathroom soon. In the next year or so our big project hopefully will be converting our loft into a Master bedroom complete with bathroom and walk in closet. Right now the loft is our room but the bathroom is down a long flight of stairs which can be hard on a child bearing mother...I am sure some of you know what I mean.
Except for that, Wade is still working away as a financial analyst and I am still at home with the kids...I love it.
Jacob, as I said just turned three on the 27th of December. He loved his p
resents, but surprisingly enough the thing he most enjoyed was the baseball cake I made for him made out of an orange (his favorite color) cake mix. He just couldn't wait to blow out the candles and have a slice. Unfortunately he has entered what my mom calls the tyrannical three's stage which can be trying on my patience. He's still so sweet with Anna and loves to give her hugs and kisses and he can always make her smile, in fact, he was the first one to make her giggle. He is learning so fast and we are finding it a little sad that Grandma and Grandpa are no longer Framma and Frampa, or that animals are no longer mammals.
Anna is as calm and as patient as ever. Even as I am writing this, Jacob is surrounding her head with a billion toys and getting in her face and she still is just as content as could be. She really is a blessing. She teaches me so many things and I just love having her in our home. She will be 4 months old on Monday and almost has the rolling over thing down, but it has taken her a little longer than Jacob just because she is so content that s
he doesn't feel the need to go anywhere I think. We also think she is teething (sooo soon) poor thing would bite her fingers off if we didn't intervene. We are trying to keep up with the drool, but still she is always our happy little baby. Another fun event for Anna was that she was blessed in our church on my birthday...what a great present! She looked beautiful in her 27 year old dress (my blessing dress) and she didn't cry during it and was held by about a dozen or so family and friends with no complaint. We just love her to pieces.
That's all for now. Until next time!

That was a fat Christmas. I request the removal of the picture ASAP.
(I'm just kidding)
