Birthday On The Rocks

“This is my 6th birthday party and yes that’s a bottle of Vodka my mom had to put down in order to plop my birthday cake on the table (yes there is no plate under it). This is also the same day I learned to make my mom her screwdrivers. Ahhh, the 70’s in Brooklyn were great.”

Alpaca Party

“For my son’s 10th birthday, we thought it would be fun to have a party at an alpaca farm. It was quite a party.”
