A Reunion and Tora's 2nd Bday!

Last weekend, we went to Park City for a family reunion.  It was short and sweet, but lots of fun.  The first night, all the kids gathered on a bed to watch a movie.  Ahh. . . .reunited and happy to be together.


The next day was Tora's 2nd birthday!  
 Peek a boo!




She started happy that day, but it quickly turned into a long day, with no naps, and a grumpy 2 year old.  I guess, it was her birthday and she'll cry if she wants to.  And she did.  

In the afternoon, we went bowling.  The kids alongside the grownups all had a great time.  

Here's cutie patootie Karlee.

 Tora bowling with Grandma.


Sweet Kinley

 Nice form dad.

 My always smiley Mieley.

 A cheering section.

 I think my brother Justin is sad here because all the little kids are scoring as high as he is.  :)

Check out Tora's intense expression there.

 Adalyn showing off her skills.

Squeezable Miss Ellie.

 And here's just one of many, many pictures of tired Tora.  Still cute though.

After bowling, Tora took a much needed nap, and the bigger kids went out for a swim with Grandma and Aunt Megan.





Thanks Megan for the fun pictures.  

Finally, after dinner came the cake and ice cream for Tora.  
Look at my brother Matt's expression in the background.  I think secretly he wanted to be by all the kids and help blow out the candles too!!!  :)

Tora was so fascinated by the flame.



 
Finally, some smiles from the 2 year old we adore.

Adam wasn't able to make it and we missed him so.  Here's Tora leaving her dad a message on the phone.  She gets so excited to talk to Adam.

And here's a few moments before the girls and I had to leave the next morning.  We had to leave early to make it home for their TaVaci concert.  Here's all the grandkids.

We just love this crazy bunch!
