Continued Celebrations

 Let's just face it, living away from family stinks - especially around birthdays and holidays.  But, if there is one good thing about it, it may be that you get to extend those celebrations out while things arrive in the mail!  Tori has been totally enjoying her extended birthday celebrations!!!  Her first package arrived from Georgia - thanks so much Uncle Willie, Aunt Krista, Parker, Lincoln, and Henry! 

Tori wasted no time getting into this one!

Yeah for a fun new towel and adorable card!

She loves this towel (although, she calls it her blanket!), and I think we have used it almost every night since it arrived!!!

Next came a package from Uncle Jer and Aunt Kim in Utah!  Since Jared wasn't home yet, Tori had to anxiously await his arrival before she could open this one!

What could it be?

She loves her new dog Dug (sadly I missed catching her giving him a kiss with our camera)!

And of course, the Cinderella book was a huge hit!!!  Thanks so much Uncle Jer and Aunt Kim!!!

Tori's next package was from Grandma Harrison and Aunt Anna in Utah!  The packing stuff was definitely an added present - she had so much fun playing with it!!!

Tori's very own computer - time to start working on sending emails and her own blog!

And then she found the pajamas with tutus - she had to try them on right away!

Hurrah for a new dress - she is going to look adorable!!!

Yep, Tori loves her new computer- she even tried to take it to bed with her!!!

The last birthday package arrived from Grandma and Grandpa Allen, Uncle Alec, and Uncle Dillon in Texas! So many presents, where to start?

Luckily Uncle Alec was looking out for Tori and let us know the order!

Oh how fun - Tori loves her new doll (especially since she can dress her up and comb her hair)!!!

Yeah for another new dress - she will continue to be the belle of the ball (or at least our ward)!!!

Tori loves her new dollie - she has been playing with her all morning long (so cute)!!!

An enormous thank you to all of our family for making Tori's second birthday so memorable!  It has been a blast watching her totally enjoy each new gift as it has arrived!  Love you all!!!
