Kira Turns One

October is essentially Birthday Month in my family. Over the course of the month, we celebrate no fewer than six birthdays, with a possible seventh one looming somewhere on the horizon. (As long as he doesn't read this blog, I suppose, what he doesn't know won't hurt him. But that's an issue to be addressed at a later date!)

Today, it was my niece Kira's turn. Kira is now one year old.

Most of Kira's Plowman and Woodbury family, except for the ones who couldn't make it, gathered for a birthday party in Woods Cross earlier this evening. We showered her with attention and gifts, including this . . . thing - whatever you call it - pictured below, which her older siblings, Jenna and Luke, and her cousins promptly took control of.


No matter. Kira was plenty content to crawl around, smear birthday cake all over her face, and play with the wrapping paper.

Good times were had by all who attended.
