and the time has come...

that's right... the time has come to reveal the Burns Twins names.




Thanks to all that participated! It was fun for us getting to hear all the guesses...good and bad...and talking to some people that we haven't talked to in a while.
The winners are:
for Nora Grayce, we had quite a few people guess the right name in the end, just not all spelled correctly!
First Place--Michelle Little
Second Place--Jennifer Allen
for Holden Reece, although i saw the name guessed within a large list--no one ever settled on it, so we have decided to award the prize to the 2 people who considered it first.
First Place--Dad and Anne
Second Place--Jennifer Allen

I would also like to give out some honorable mentions/facts of everyone's guesses:


The most popular guessed boy name was by far Hayden...very close, but no cigar!
The most popular guessed girl name was Natalie.

The most creative and well-thought out guess award goes to both Katie Kirkpatrick and Michelle Little. They included explanations with their name guesses, like Noelle for its Christmas association.

The most energetic and funny participant award goes to our Aunt Lou Ann--she repeatedly cracked Mike and I up.

The worst name guesser award goes to Jake Sweatland...we love you, but really? Horatio Rasputin and Noah Gorbachov? we're glad you did a better job with your own son!

The quickest guesser award goes to Dad and Anne. Although, Nora was spelled instead with an H--they had ALL the correct names on their lists after the first week. We were thoroughly impressed!

Okay well, i guess the only thing left we have to keep you all waiting, besides seeing these lovely babies faces, is the nursery. And i get LOTS of requests for pics...i'm not holding out, i am just trying to finish it up. Curtains came in this week, so there are just a few more things to do, if my good friend Marybeth would just lay her busy life aside for awhile and come help a poor pregnant girl out i'd be done! Pics will be up soon, promise!

Oh Jessi! such beautiful names! (You know I love Holden b/c of how much I love J.D. Salinger.) I'm so super excited for y'all. I seriously almost started crying in the middle of the library when I read your blog just now. :) I'm so happy for you guys! Love you!
