I'm a Little Indian Boy!

Santi and I were thrilled to FINALLY attend one of Kai's famous themed birthday bashes. In the past years, he's had other creative concept parties like "Where the Wild Things Are", "Tarzan", etc. Too bad we weren't in Manila to witness the ingenuity of his mother, graphic designer extraordinaire, Noelle aka Wanderlust for all those thrown before. But we're mighty glad we were there yesterday to experience it all first-hand. She practically DIYed this whole event (as always!).

Our fave artist, Noelle designed the cute party invite

Noelle has been vegetarian since high school and so when she became a mom, she decided that her son, Kai would be one too. Of course, the party menu was all veg. Check out the yummy & healthy grubs!

Thanks for putting this all together! At the end of the day, you know that these precious kids grow up too fast so best to make beautiful memories to last a lifetime :)
