Tori - Birthday Girl!

Sweet Tori had a birthday the morning we left for Bear Lake. Things were rushed enough that we didn't get lots of pictures. We knew that the family would sing and make a fuss that night, as we gathered with all of the relatives at Papa Bear Lodge.

She had picked out some nail polish and supplies online for her birthday, and we got her a volleyball. (She's on a rec team that John's helping coach.) Mostly, though, she wanted birthday money to spend while on the trip. We made her Kimberly's chocolate chip bundt cake, and had leftovers on the drive.

Tori is the most pleasant teenager you could find. She gives sweet compliments and hugs. She also cooks great food for us often (she recently won a ward cook-off), and she continues to be a second mom and BFF for Maggie. She is trying out for the school dance team, and is a talented dancer and singer. Love this girl!
