Bates #7 Turns 23

Between Christmas, New Year's, two birthdays, and three anniversaries, December is a busy month for the Bates family. And surprisingly, the December birthdays (Zach and Tori), as well as Gil's on January 1st, occur within three weeks of the birthday person's wedding anniversary.

Tori and Bobby Smith celebrated one year of marriage on the 16th, and today is Tori's 23rd birthday. Happy birthday, Tori!

  1. Not sure I would trust an 11 year old with a baby in a tube like that.

    2. They clearly lived to tell the tale so I think they know how to raise children....obviously.

    3. How sad to set the bar so low. . . a child surviving infancy is not a sign of good parenting. Many children drown from poor supervision. Nonetheless, I do think the Bates are kind, good parents.
