Sarah Fortune recently threw the most unique birthday party of all time, and it was all her daughter’s idea. Iris, now four years old, has a very real love for CVS. Yes, that’s right. She loves a drugstore chain.

To her, this store is a magical place full of yummy snacks and awesome toys! What’s not to love?

To start, let’s just establish how much Iris really loves CVS.

That’s why she decided to have a very special birthday party.

Instead of channeling her inner princess, this girl threw a CVS-themed bash!

There wasn’t much for Mom to search on Pinterest, so she had to wing it.

She obviously pulled it off really well.

At least CVS has a simple color scheme to work with.

Even the goody bags were on point.

They were a big hit.

Iris is a lucky girl. Her mom went above and beyond to organize this awesome party.

Even though the theme was a little atypical, everyone had a great time!

There were even some CVS-themed treats for the adults.

Don’t worry. These are just Tic Tacs.

CVS was almost as excited as Iris was for the big day.

And they sent lots of yummy snacks to prove it.

Now that Iris’ love for CVS is known to the world, the fun will never stop!

Iris is an adorable girl who really knows how to enjoy the little things in life — including the ones we take for granted every day. Keep up with Iris and her mom’s adventures on Instagram, and on Sarah Fortune’s blog.

When you’re a little kid, the philosophy of gift-getting is simple: “the bigger, the better.” When you see a big box covered in wrapping paper, the imagination starts to run wild. What could it be? A kid-sized car? A new bike? A really, really big stuffed animal? This little boy saw a giant box in his front yard, and what he found inside will melt your heart.

He couldn’t have asked for anything better!

He was totally shocked! Are you reaching for some tissues? Because this one really got to me. What an amazing birthday gift.

One man decided to do something for his girlfriend’s birthday that she would never forget. He worked tirelessly and he prepped everything for the big surprise, getting the house ready for what was going to happen. When he finally brought her home and led her through the house with her eyes closed, he did something I never saw coming.

If that doesn’t serve as a PSA to never cheat, nothing will. He truly got her back with this one!

As we get older, birthdays become less and less fun. They serve as nothing but a reminder that you’re just one year further away from being a kid. But, really, that’s all a matter of perspective. Take these 33 pets, for example. They aren’t about to let growing up bring them down…they’re going to CELEBRATE!

1. “Surprise me with the color scheme, I’ll make it work.”

2. “What, no candles?”

3. “I love my birthday month!”

4. “It’s my three-eighths birthday, y’know…”

5. “Someone take care of this fire so I can eat my noms, please and thank you.”

6. I canNOT get over that pompom.

7. “Can you play ‘Who Let The Dogs Out?"”

8. “I told you not to do anything! Gosh, I’m so flattered.”

9. What dog WOULDN’T want a big ol’ raw steak on her birthday?!

10. “You’ve taken, like, a million pics. Can we just eat now, pleaaassseeeee?!”

11. Now make a funny face!

12. They’ll come soon, promise. Maybe there was traffic on the interstate?

13. “Birthdays don’t count on a diet!”

14. “I know I woke you up at 5 a.m., it’s my birthday…what did you expect?”

15. “Minus the Hello Kitty decor, this is the best day EVER.”

16. “You…remembered?”

17. “Why don’t we do this EVERY day?”

18. It’s all about your delivery.

19. “When is it time for cake?! Put me down and give me cake!”

20. He took birthday suit the wrong way…I don’t hate it, though!

21. “King for a day, as opposed to what the rest of the time???”

22. “So, is it her birthday, or ours? I’m confused.”

23. “Great, now everyone knows I was lying when I told them I was only one.”

24. “Why didn’t I get any balloons?”

25. “I told you I don’t like surprises!”

26. “I’m going to pretend like I know what’s happening.”

27. Do I want any? Oh, no, I couldn’t! It’s your special day, after all…

28. The puppy-dog eyes aren’t necessary — that’s all yours!

29. “You didn’t tell me it was going to be a costume party!”

30. “When do we start taking shots in my honor?”

31. “It’s my party…I’ll do what I want to!”

32. “How old am I in people years? 60ish? Well I get nine lives, right? Cool.”

33. Ultimately, though, they’re pretty good at dishing out some perspective to us on our birthdays, too…

Whether these guys have figured out what the word “birthday” means or not, they’re having the best time! I’m definitely going to take their furry leads and try not to sweat the small stuff from now on. So should you: have your cake (or tuna, or Beggin’ Strips, or what have you), AND eat it, too.

If you liked those birthday celebrations, you’re going to have a giggle fit at this pup’s party!

There are those out there who might judge dog mommies and daddies for treating their fur babies as if they were their, y’know, actual children. But those people are clearly lacking a fundamental part of their hearts, because, duh, dogs are just the best.

This handsome fella’s humans know exactly how to treat their great dane with all the love and occasional spoiling the big guy deserves. Every year on his birthday, no matter what, they take a break from their own lives to spend the whole day pampering their pooch with adventures, good eats, and a nice snoozefest.

I have a feeling the rest of the year is still pretty special when it comes to living with this cutie. Maybe next year we can all get an invite to the party? We’d be more than happy to provide plenty of presents!

There’s no way to sugar coat this so I’m just going to say it: poop fell from the sky and hit a sweet sixteen birthday party in Pennsylvania this week. You know how a bird pooping on your head can ruin your whole day? Imagine that but with human feces, and a lot more of it. (Not to mention the fact that you’re a 16-year-old girl and all your friends are here and you’re now super embarrassed.) Talk about a party pooper.

Here is the coverage on Fox 4. Turns out the grossest part of the story is this anchor’s poopy puns.

This girl should probably get some free plane tickets for her troubles. In any case, the Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident, as planes are supposed to drain their waste while at the airport, not while flying over important teenage milestones.
