Late Christmas

We always celebrate Christmas with the Berryhill extended family later than most people -- usually on New Year's Day. This gives all of the families a chance to make it to Christmas without juggling schedules or stress. This year, Aunt Brooke and Layton got sick, so we had to delay it. After Caitlin's "pink party" yesterday, we were able to celebrate with Brooke and family. And, cousin Layton will finally get to use Conall and Caitlin's old crib, set up in a guest room at Na Na's.

The Pink Party

The party table

Caitlin had her 3rd birthday party today. Her only request was that we have a "pink party". We invited Caitlin's cousin, Kate and her friend, Savy. Since Kate and Savy live in Conway, we had the party at Na Na and Po Po's house. Aunt Brooke, Uncle Todd, Tristan, and Layton were also able to make it. We even got a family photo!

Aunt Amy and I went down early to finish decorating the cake. The kids came a little later with daddy and got to help finish decorating it.

The little girls had so much fun playing. They colored My Little Pony coloring sheets, decorated sugar cookies, had a Play Doh treasure hunt, ate Aunt Amy's yummy My Little Pony cake, opened gifts and played and played and played. Caitlin had a wonderful birthday.

Party Animals

Kate, Conall and Caitlin's cousin, celebrated her 2nd birthday this weekend with a big outside party. The kids and the adults had a great time and the weather was beautiful! Here's some picks of the party animals!

Layton Cole

Here are some photos of our newest nephew, Layton Cole. Congratulations Aunt Brooke, Uncle Todd, and Tristan! We can't wait to see him in person.

Conall saw this one and wanted to know "why is he so grouchy?"
