This post was long overdue (like every year) My daughter's birthday was on 11 March (one of the life changing days of my life). It's been half a decade that I became a mom! Phew! As cliched as it may sound, but time really flies!
Years will pass and birthdays will come and go but memories would stay forever! When I was younger (when my mom was my only photographer) she used to lecture me to pay more attention to enjoying a particular situation rather than clicking incessantly.
I however defied her by saying that old memories make good life. The ability to retrieve a memory decreases exponentially unless boosted by artificial aids like photographs and videos. We should retain good moments for future memories.
So when I was continuously clicking pictures for my daughter's fourth birthday, she again put up her logic and asked me to pay attention to hosting (which I was doing simultaneously). But later on when I showed her the photographs, she agreed that those moments had been immortalised by my incessant clicking actions. I feel that it's my (as a mom) responsibility to document every important occasion of my munchkin so that she can relive those days when she grows up!
And just like that, my daughter turned five! You can get a glimpse of her previous birthdays here, here, here and here.
This year was extra special for many reasons. Firstly this was her first birthday when she no longer was the only child ..she had her new born sister alongside. Secondly as she is growing up, she had her own list of invitees or friends. I had never handled so many kids together! And party planning single handedly with no sleep for the past one and half months was really challenging on my part. However everything turned out great and I am really thankful to my friends who came and blessed my first born.
As you must have guessed already, the theme was Minnie Mouse and red and black. We donned red and black or white and set the party scene on fire! Just kidding 🤣
I hope that my elder daughter will cherish these moments when she grows up and I wish hey all the happiness and good health in this world!
