I turned 25 on Wednesday. Half way through my twenties already! Birthday celebrations are generally quiet affairs for me and truthfully I've come to enjoy them best that way. Warm May weather, pretty blossoms, dinner & cake with my family and my day is complete.
My mother tried something new this year and iced some of my lemon cupcakes with vanilla frosting. The combination was very flavorful, but nothing can out-do when they are simply topped with powdered (confectioners) sugar. She treated me to both. Mmm. ♥
Dress: H&M The Garden Collection, Cardigan: Target (old), Shoes: Aldo
This dress has been hanging on the back of my bedroom door since March. I've been tempted by it for months, but ignored its calls to be worn so that its first outing would be as my birthday dress. Organic cotton? Two floral prints in one? Big, billowy pockets? Yes, please.

Happy belated birthday, dear! You were lucky to enjoy such wonderful weather on your day :) It looks beautiful with all those pretty, pretty cakes. Oh, and the garden collection dress looks perfect among all the blossoms!
To answer your question, my parents thought Israel was a lot better than they had thought. Much greener and much more western (they'd thought it'd be like Turkey or Egypt), so they were pleasantly surprised :)
What a perfect birthday dress! And the photos all look so lovely, spring-y and celebratory! Hooray and Happy Birthday!
