The party was supposed to have taken place on Christmas day (Christmas music, dancing, and confetti, he said), but we all kind of forgot to attend (he also forgot to remind us). But he still has the sign up and it’s just too adorable.

If I can’t figure out how to translate what I’ve achieved in tissue paper into real life, it may be another story, though…
