Pearce Addalin turns 5....

Pearce Addalin Burns was born December 28, 2006 at 7:56 AM...she had tons of black hair and was a "mini" compared to her older sister only weighing in at 7lbs. 11oz....Scouty weighed 10lbs 15oz!  She has made us laugh ever since she could talk, and has the most caring heart of any person I know. 


Tonight she celebrated her 5th birthday! I can't believe she is already 5...I feel like I just had her....

Pearce waiting on her friends to get here...she wanted a couple of friends to spend the night....

On our way to Tuscan Slice! 

Silly glasses make pizza making so much more fun!!

Barbie cupcakes with rings on top :)

Happy Birthday Pearce!!

Jentry's prayers....

I had to share this.....Jentry is 2 years old...26 months to be exact....over the past month or so she has been praying at dinner some and before she goes to bed. Her prayer usually goes like this: Dear God, Thank you for my family (said like it is a 3 syllable word), my dad, my mom, my scouty, my pooh (that is what she calls Pearce)....AMEN.

Well, tonight when she prayed it went like this: Dear God, Thank you for my family, my dad, my kyra....she stops and looks up at me and says "you my kyra, right??" Me: "yes but you call me mom not kyra" Jentry: "but you kyra right?" Me: "yes" Jentry: continues on with the prayer....thank you for my kyra...amen.

Heavenly Father, Thank you for this hilarious child - AMEN!

Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell Run....

Last night, Justin ran in the Dallas Jingle Bell 5k Run....the older two girls and I tagged along (JJ stayed with Grammy and Pops)...next year we are doing this as a family...the "fun run" not the 5K :)

Pre-race...walking around the Hilton/Anatole hotel

Scouty enjoying some candy and analyzing a moving piece of art....see below

There were close to 5,000 people participating in this year's race....and several dogs...if you know Scout, you know that she HATES dogs....hates them worse than anyone I've ever been around...so, last night she was on high alert....she also isn't very fond of dressed up things...there were several of these as well....Pearce on the other hand LOVES people dressed up in mascot costumes and wanted to take pictures with all of them....

We also saw Santa!

Having a little snack while waiting for the race to start...we also walked around looking at the hotel lobby...it was HUGE!!!

And we found this Christmas tree...

Daddy finished! 

After the race, we went inside and listened to a little music.  We had a good time, it'll be even better next year when we all participate!

Merry Christmas!!!
