pumpkin patch from the past

see, our son is now 5. he thinks he's too hip for the pumpkin patch now. i would still want him to have pictures at the pumpkin patch but he's putting on the breaks and would just love to watch the little babies frolic at the patch.

so, i'm staring at this precious moment back in time in 2010 where he smiled and posed. it actually made it to our holiday card that we decided to do thanksgiving card that year instead of christmas. uhm, can we bring my baby back?

a little pumpkin's first birthday party

my little nephew, david, had a perfect little pumpkin's 1st birthday party last weekend and we all had a blast at his party! his mom (my niece), ailynne and the whole family pulled all their creative ideas together and hosted a fun festive fall party for the kiddos!  

ailynne's sister, anne-marie, decorated the buffet area with adorable hanging balloons and paper poms. delicious traditional filipino food were served for lunch!

the backyard was decked out with bales of hay and baby pumpkins for a fun photo area!

the cake looked and tasted divine. how lovely that it's displayed with orange burlap.

the dessert table was so tempting with french macarons, pumpkin cake balls and cupcakes!

there was a bounce house, facepainting and twist up balloons for the kiddie guests to enjoy and boy, they sure did! 

thanks ailynne for sharing all the photos from the party and for having us over! we had so much fun especially aston!
