So much has happened...

It's been so long since we have posted and there are many updates and pictures to share.  First of all, Rae Ann Burleson hit a very big milestone with her 1st birthday.  We just can't believe our baby girl is 1 year old.  She is so great and we all love her so much.  She is a very happy and busy thing and extremely funny to us all.  She likes to cheese any time she sees a camera.  She is also a little chatterbox and a speed crawler (no walking yet)! 

For her birthday, JB decided Molly and I should have a cupcake war.  We love "Cupcake Wars" and we had a great time.  She and I didn't compete against each other.  Instead we worked together and let the cupcakes compete.  We made two cupcakes to go with a regular birthday cake cupcake.  Our two cupcakes were carrot cupcake with cream cheese icing and a banana pudding cupcake with whipped cream.  Daddy and Ty were the judges so no French accents to contend with Uncle Steve.

Here are some pics from our Burleson Cupcake Wars.

 We have a very special Burleson family tradition that JB started when Molly turned 3.  At every birthday, the birthday boy/girl is awakened by singing and a birthday donut with a candle on top.  Usually the birthday donut has sprinkles for the kids' birthdays.  Rae loves this tradition as much as the other two and had no trouble eating the birthday donut.   

Here are some pictures from the party that night after football practice!  We had dinner and lots of time to spend with family

She was not overly excited about eating birthday cake.  Just like her big sister on her first birthday.  Not at all like her big brother on his!
