Power Outage

Our power went out because of a horrible ice-storm back in February and was out from 4pm Saturday until 11am Sunday and needless-to-say it was freezing outside. Luckily, our gas fireplace still worked. So we lit a bunch of candles, brought down Tori's pack n' play, and had a big family sleepover in the living room. Tori thought it was a blast (probably because there was nothing to take mom and dad's attetion away from her). She thought the candles were really cool too and kept asking for candles for a few days afterwards. These are some pictures of Tori bundled up and playing with dad's warm, very bright orange hat.

Stuffed Animals

One day while I was making dinner, I looked over at Tori and she had just cleared a little spot for herself on the shelf with her stuffed animals and was sitting there with them, very content. I thought she looked so cute that I ran and grabbed the camera. Tori loves getting her picture taken, so for the next couple of days she would go and sit with her stuffed animals again and say, "picture Tori".

Nemo

Tori is a big fan of her new Nemo stuffed animal lately. These are some pictures of her giving him hugs and kisses. One of the really cute things that she has been doing lately is usually when it is time for bed or nap time she likes to say goodbye to all her toys. Sometimes it's just "b-bye toys". Usually she picks a few that she played with that day and says bye to each of them and Nemo almost always gets a "b-bye Nemo". She just gets more fun everyday.
