Birthday Party Review

We've entered Pisces, my birthday season. I think it's fascinating to watch a person change over time (me, here, obviously):
I spent the morning gathering photos from past birthday parties, from years when I've had them. Since I didn't always--or don't have photos of them––I borrowed a few from other people, or other events.
