Another day, another year

Family, and friends seen too seldom, and presents, and dessert. Birthdays don't get better than this.



Kyle does not much care for having his picture taken anymore. In honor of the occasion, his sister browbeat him into uncovering his face, just once.


A "normal day at the office" (celebrating at three churches) was followed by dinner, and cake and ice cream.




Two different flavors of ice cream. Mmmmmmm....








Si and Laura on their way back east, from what sounds like a wonderful wedding. They're planning their own, next June, so perhaps this could be construed as research?






Fortunately they did not insist on having a candle on the cake for each year. Wouldn't want to set off the smoke alarms...



It was a lovely day.
