Saturday was my little brother's birthday party.
He is turning 9 years old next week, but we celebrated a bit early.
Any excuse to put on your party dress and eat cake, right?
In case you are wondering, there are sixteen years between us!
I'm turning 25 this November.

By the way, do yourself a favor and make this
Apple Spice Cake from Martha Stewart.
My cousin found this recipe the morning of the party.
Just by going to google.
And. It. Was. There.are.no.words.
