Today is my 31st birthday. Looking at photos of past birthdays, this makes me feel a bit old.

No more Strawberry Shortcake cakes with jujubes on top!

Or cakes bigger than myself, for that matter.

The year I got a trampoline was seriously AWESOME.

But blowing out the candles was always the BEST.

This birthday interlude was brought to you by… the ghost of birthdays past!

Even though I won’t get to wear a cone-shaped hat, I still look forward to celebrating my birthday – if just to get together with everyone I love.
