Celebrating another trip around the sun

So, to honor my 26th year around the sun, I decided to throw myself a party!

I bought champagne, flowers, and balloons...

Made delicious hors d'oeuvres and baked myself a vegan cake...

Decorated the garden patio, put on music, and made a fire in the outdoor fireplace...

And then invited everyone I knew to come!

Here are some photos of the celebration:

Here is my awesome little brother Toro, popping up the champagne...
