Trip to Virginia

In the middle of March we all took a trip to Virginia to see Grandma Margie and Grandpa Eric, Ryan, Amber and Audrey. It worked out really well since Danielle, Dan and Olivia came to visit from Utah at the same time. It's the first time in several years that everyone in the family was together, so of course we took a picture (above).

Tori had a blast playing with her cousin Audrey and with all the really neat toys at Grandma's house.

Tori also loved trying to teach her cute little cousin Olivia had to say "whoosee ga ga".

Above is Aunt Danielle holding Olivia. Tori and Olivia also enjoyed riding next to each other in the car a lot.

Grandma bought the girls adorable Tinkerbell outfits. If I play any kind of music in the house Tori has to be wearing her Tinkerbell or Cinderella outfit and then she dances non-stop.

Below is a picture of Tori right before church. I never leave her hair completely down because it is so long that it gets into everything. She just looks so old in this picture with her hair down, I can't believe how fast time is going.

Lots of Snow

This winter we had more snow than we ever want to have again in Iowa. It was very beautiful at times, just exhausting to shovel! Winter also lasted very long this year. Tori was probably the one person not complaining about all the snow. She loved to play in it while mom and dad shoveled the driveway. Though, it did get too cold for even her to play in it for awhile there. These are just a few of the pictures of Tori in the snow.

Above is Tori on top of the mountain of snow on the side of our driveway (there wasn't too much snow yet in this picture, but in the next couple weeks that mountain was taller than me).

Tori's two favorite things to do in the snow are to get pulled around the yard on the sled and to make snow angels.

Below is a video of Tori doing a snow angel (more fun than just seeing a picture).
