sophie's birthday (not a typical birthday, not in medan)

actually her exact birthday is in the end of december, but they were in England and they had a small family gathering only to celebrate sophie's birthday. Now it's her 51/4-year-old birthday, sophie wanted to celebrate it with her friends. so, here we go...

it's a common thing here in medan (for a middle-to-high-socioeconomic group of people) to celebrate a birthday in a grand way, so everybody (though they are not invited) knows about the party, or at least catch some envy feeling toward the joyful event. but this family celebrated it so humble-westernlike party (though we are very aware they could afford for a super grand party) in the house yard. equipped by trampolin and pinata and lotsa of food, we were ready to have the party!

it's a usual things to celebrate any kind of event with pinata in western context. but it's kinda new here. love i can learn/ experience sth new. and it seemed that the children love it too!

is't he amazing?!? Jhivincent tried to tear the very last bit of the pinata. what a perseverant boy.

the shy and unwell birthday girl blew the candles with mommy's help

the simple yet fabolous birthday cupcakes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIE :)
