Birthday Party


My entry for this week's Photo Hunt is my daughter's seventh birthday party held at Dreamscape, an indoor theme park. I have a lot of party pictures to share with my family, my friends and at the office. I even thought of making a collage of my daughter's birthday celebrations starting when she was a year old up to last year's birthday. I'm sure a lot of mothers can also relate with me when I say every month before reaching one year old, we celebrate our babies' milestones every month.

Anyway, here are some pictures of my Princess' seventh birthday. I'm not sure in other countries but in the Philippines, it's a common tradition to hold a grand celebration on a child's first, seventh and eighteenth birthdays. These mark their entry to another stage in their lives - from infancy to being a toddler, going to prepuberty or the tween years, teenage years and then adulthood.

The party area with colorful hats and balloons.

The Hello Kitty birthday cake which was my daughter's favorite then.

Part of the party package are tickets for the rides as give aways to all attendees. The kids surely enjoyed this part.

  28. My friends of Mexican heritage go all out for the 15th birthday--especially for girls with a huge quinceanera celebration. Some do the odd numbered birthdays big and not so the even. I'm not big on birthday parties myself, but probably would be more so if I lived closer to my grandchildren.
