Let's Celebrate

Most people would give their daughter
a girly fairy princess party with all the trimmings.

Except for our family...
we've been there,
done that.

Instead we bring Keira out into the woods
full of dirt, insects and no electricity or running water.
(unless you count the stream)
To enjoy her 1st birthday!!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you...
"Aaaa, mom! What's that?
Why are you bringing a large pile of something brown
with a flame on it, right into my face?"


"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to,
cry if I want to.
You would cry too, if it happened to you!"


As Daddy attempts to sooth Keira into
blowing out her candles.


"Well this isn't so bad."


"Oh you mean, it's edible?
And covered in CHOCOLATE!"


Simply, delicious.


"I don't need your help Dad,
I think I can feed myself."


"More please!"


Keira is MORE then pleased with the results!


And so are these guys...
More then willing to show Keira how tasty a chocolate cupcake can be!

How brave of Larry to hold her while she eats her cupcake. When my kids have messy food I get as far away as possible.
