Children's Museum

We visited the Children's Museum last weekend and Madison had a lot of fun. There were so many things to do from catching catfish, crawling through caves and playing giant scrabble. I know we will be going a lot in the future and it will just get more and more fun as everyone gets older. Here are a few pictures of all the fun.

Mandi's baking blog

Some of you may know that I have an interest in baking and because of this I have started a second blog. Please note that The Burgess Family blog is not going anywhere...this is our personal family blog. The new blog is a blog to document my growth in my baking skills. You can take a peak or not waste your time it is up to you but I did want to make everyone aware. The new is a work in progress and I do plan to write more on it. It is currently just pictures as I was trying to get it up quickly.

Happy New Year

It's a late post to say Happy New Year but Happy New Year. We had a chance of snow yesterday but all we got was ice. Madison wanted to go outside and see it this morning so we went out for a while. She loved hearing it crunch under her feet and knocking down the icicles. I wish it had snowed but glad Madison enjoyed the ice. Payton and Taylor were smart and napped warmly inside.

Making Santa's cookies

I finally downloaded a few pictures from my other camera so here are a few of Madison making her cookies for Santa.

You know you were born in the south when...

your first taste of food (that isn't rice cereal) is mustard greens. ;) I don't think Taylor is a fan but I think Payton kind of enjoyed them.

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Jesus

We had a wonderful Christmas and I was having such a good time watching Madison open presents that it completely slipped my mind to take some pictures of her opening them. I did take a couple of the huge mess. ;) As Madison opened each gift she had to take some time to play with each toy. It was nice to know she was excited about each one. I don't think Taylor of Payton were quite aware of what was going on but they did have fun playing with the toys they were handed. On top of it being a wonderful Christmas day we also had a bit of snow again. It fell the same as it did a few weeks ago but it was still exciting to see. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and as Madison says each time Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Jesus.
