Tori is 6

Tori is 6 years old! 

We celebrated Tori's birthday with a party at home with some of her friends.  We decorated gingerbread houses and played a tasting game.

The girls had a lot of fun decorating their houses and guessing which flavor of candy cane they got. 

Tori asked for an iPod for her birthday.  She has had a lot of fun with that and all the other toys she got.....and then a week and a half later, more toys from Christmas!  Needless to say, she is over-loaded with things right now! 

And the best part about turning six in our house is - you can get your ears pierced!  For a long time, Tori was saying she was going to wait until she was seven to get her ears pierced.  Which was completely fine with me....six is just the earliest that I want them to do it.  But then just a few months before her birthday, she changed her mind.  So after school on December 14th, we went to go get her ears pierced!

Her eyes are a little teary....she cried when they did the first one, but was fine after the second one went in.

Hard to believe she is six years old!  She is a great kid!  So sweet and loving!  And she has been doing an awesome job taking care of her newly pierced ears.  She is so responsible!  (It must be a middle-child thing!)
