pumpkin cake : why everyone should have a fall birthday

we broke out the birthday cake a couple of nights ago:

pumpkin cake from my favorite bakery ever. really.

we tried to be adults and we ate our dinner first,

which wasn't actually too difficult since dinner

was simple and delicious: figs, cheese, bread, salsa, chips,

and our fave ginger sodas...perfection.

of course the cake was my favorite part of the evening,

but the twinkle lights and the music was a close second.

i love little nights like this: it's cold outside and we're

cozy on the inside, celebrating together. love, love, love.

...and maybe i couldn't stop dancing to this song
