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.

Party Hat

Tori went to a friend's first birthday on Friday and had a ton of fun. I was very surprised that she loved the party hat - she kept it on the entire party and wore it home. The funniest thing at the party was that they had the little noise makers that are paper roled up and you blow in them and they flip out; well I blew in Tori's for her and she just couldn't stop laughing. I did it about 20 times and everytime she would giggle uncontrolablely.

For Halloween I had a bear with a witch hat holding a pumpkin that I put out as a decoration on the table. Well, I think Tori thought the bear was for her. She loves it and has played with it almost everyday since I put it out. Her favorite thing is to say "Rarr" like the bear. The only problem now is I get to have a Halloween bear out all year long. :)

New Do

We've finally found another way to do Tori's hair, which is good because she loves to find the little clip that I usually put in her hair and pull it out while saying "oww". She loves the new do, though I think she has the most fun playing with the comb after mom is done.

Dad's hat is still a good stand-by for those bad hair days.
