Daddy Daughter Dance

There are no words to express how these pictures make me feel other than they make my heart happy.

More twirling and practice dancing was going on in our house prior to Peyton and Erik's departure than I have ever seen. Her signature dance moves are the robot and "shake your booty". Don't ask.... just remember that she is all Berry!

This little girl has already stolen many hearts! Watch out boys though...her daddy reports that she was the most high maintenance date he's ever had!

A glimpse into the dance before we left them on their date. ========>

MAJOR Snow Day in Texas

Last week we experienced record breaking (literally!) amounts of snow in one day. It was so beautiful and we all got out and enjoyed the experience. What a nice "test run" for our upcoming trip to Utah with the Keiser family.

Enjoy a few pics from the day!

Peyton couldn't decide whether she wanted to throw or eat the snowballs she made. Most of the time she opted for eating them. Yummy!

I was amazed.... Although it was very cold and at times their faces were bright red, they never complained or wanted to come inside. And, no, I couldn't get Tate in a heavier coat. He opted for a sweatshirt that just soaked in the water. Argh - boys!

When Erik got home they went back outside and built a snowman and "Texas-size" snowball. Check it out!

Here's a shot of the outside of our house. I am not quite sure when/if we'll ever see snow like this again. I do think it looks beautiful but am glad it melted away as quickly as it came. Yes, I'm a Texas girl who likes the warmer weather although I do have to admit it's nice to see some of the other seasons every now and then.

Second Annual Pig Roast - Berry Style!

Please don't anyone turn us in to our homeowner's association but Erik and Paul have started another annual event. Any excuse for those boys to host a party.... So, Super Bowl Sunday came along AGAIN without the Cowboys participating (we're getting closer!) but don't think that caused any delay in the pig pit making another appearance in our back yard (shhhhh!). And let me tell you the weather wasn't the finest to be hosting this event either. In fact, after the rain stopped we had up to 8 inches of snow dumped into our area (those pictures are to be posted shortly) so let's just say that the pig pit is still in our backyard. Enough about that though.... :>)

This year the guys brought in an expert helper - the cutest little blonde girl all decked out in her pajamas, rain boots and big pink fluffy coat (as she calls it) showed up to partake in the festivities. Yes, the best part for me (other than the pig meat - of course) was watching Peyton attach herself to her daddy and Uncle Paul and assist in the roasting of "her pig". I'm just a little concerned that she's turning into a party lover herself and may be requesting her own annual events in the near future.

The food was fabulous and a great evening was had with old and new friends. I have to say I would personally have liked the Colts to win but the game was good and the Saints played their hearts out. And...another photo for the picture books was born - Drew Brees and his son. Loved that photo on SI and all over the tv!

So, here's to another great Berry Pig Roast. And, come on Cowboys, we need a Pig Roast where we can all root on America's Team!
