Happy, Happy Birthday!






Now I’ll just come right out and admit that I’m probably far too old to be making such a fanfare of my birthday. But you know what? I. Don’t. Care. I’ve always loved my birthdays from the very first one I can remember: a Smurf-themed birthday party at McDonald’s for my second birthday. Oh, I was quite the ham even back then.

I could go on and on about my wonderful birthdays, but I think these balloon photos (and the one I snuck in there of those pretty pink dresses) sums up quite nice what I intend to do all day – and maybe even all week.

CELEBRATE!!!! CELEBRATE!!! CELEBRATE!!!

xoxo,

    Oh my goodness, I'm the same way! Growing up, such a fanfare was made out of my birthday, I've grown accustomed to making a HUGE deal out of mine & those I'm close to…even into adulthood! I love it!

    Happy Birthday! You're never too old to like fairy tales. Actually one of my favorite songs (from Queen) has this phrase that I love: "My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies, fairy tales of yesterday will GROW but never DIE, I can fly my friends!"
    I am 23 and still love Disney, Sailor Moon, and what not! Enjoy your day Melissa 🙂

    thanks everyone! I had a great day with one of my best friends (we've known each other since elementary school). It was a good way to spend my birthday — and she appreciates birthdays and makes as a big of a deal out of them as I do!

    xoxo 🙂

    Yay, rah, birthdays! Here's the ultimate womanist birthday song for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRLSH5WuVqg

    It's tradition to commandeer the coffeehouse we do at my job for my birthday every year, and we always sing this song. Hope your year is glorious and noisy!
