Tori turns 4, going on 16

Tori's b-day was a lot of fun.  We had a little tea party for the girls and one of Tori's favorite people, Sister Brown, came and brought games.  Here are some of the tea party treats... 



The cake...Tori's "Tangled" cake
Yeah...a little big.

Some of Sister Brown's games.

The only problem was that not everyone got prresents...and not everyone wanted to sit and watch Tori open all the fun stuff...and Tori did NOT want ANY help...see her face?  It says it all.  Not sure, but Laeni's other arm may be in wind up mode for a big hit...
Kristen made this b-day ladder decor - Tori was so excited for her b-day.  She got herself dressed and waited for the girls to arrive!
Her new bike - see video below.  It seems huge, but she seems to manage.  We were going to get her a 12", but liked the 16" design better - so she's sporting the 16 quite well.
Laeni did end up benefitting from the party, as she got Tori's old bike.  Not sure why both of the girls are doing a "sexy" pose with their bikes??
Other things we have been up to include watching General Conference - they actually stayed like this for all but 10 minutes of the Sat am session.  Didn't have a great mom moment during the prayerI spanked them for not being reverent...yeah, how reverent was I???


Tori making a FHE dessert for us (almost all by herself, using this recipe book that used to be mine.

Grandma Francis came for a visit and Sora loved all the 1:1 time...so did the other girls.  While my mom was here, she sewed, mended, tended and decorated Sora's room...I guess all the pics I have were taken with my phone, so I'll have to post those pics later.

Sora - Easter weekend.

Laeni opening her loot Easter morning - "mom, the Easter bunny DID come"

Tori Easter morning -"mom, look, my very own.....umbrella!"  She has been wanting an umbrella, but this is a kite.

Easter egg hunt at Grandma & Grandpa Shirley's house with the cousins.
Sora chillin...
