Birthdays: Creating keepsakes

Its been quite some time since I attended a children's party until I was rekindled with the experience of being in one, at my niece's 5th. I must say, as much as I thought that kids and their pleasures nowadays are way different from my generation, there really isn't much of a change when you try to discern closely. They still love the treats I used to love when I was their age - spaghetti, ice cream, & cake. They'd still run around every place and corner chasing their buddies like the world is theirs. Still line up, even fight over getting as much party favors as their tiny hands could handle. More interestingly, they's still wreck their moms' purses to win the ever classic 'bring me' game.  Media and technology might be rapidly evolving, but kids will be kids, and I hope they'd remain to be such, at least for quite a long time. I mean, I don't want to grow old too fast do I? haha

A party for the kids, and the kids at heart (including me). Here are some instagrammed photos from last Tuesday. Everything is just so pretty don't you think?
