So yesterday it was my 21st birthday! For those of you not living in the U.S. with better lower drinking age laws, being 21 is the best birthday EVER here in America. You can finally be a real human, it’s amazing. Anyways, I would have announced this yesterday but I was busy getting…er… school work done. Yes. That’s what I was doing. School work. (my mom reads this ok?)

Here are some pictures of creatures that have gotten yummy treats for their birthdays over the years. They really put you in the birthday spirit!
