Jasper's 8th Birthday

Jasper turned 8 last Friday and I feel like we have been celebrating for a week! 

We started off the birthday celebrations with balloons, breakfast in bed, opening presents and taking cupcakes in for his class.

After school we had a birthday afternoon tea with the grandparents and cousins.

I made a simple vanilla cake with vanilla icing so the mini balloon toppers were great to bring in the colour and party vibe. You can find them here

We did the candle on a cupcake so the balloons wouldn't pop!

On Saturday afternoon we had a party for some of Jasper's school friends. It was great to outsource everything. The trampolines certainly wore them out!

On Sunday we took the boys up to the park to test out a few of Jasper's birthday presents. The remote control helicopter was a favourite with everyone! It was an inexpensive one from Target so we weren't too precious with it. Other favourite presents included a talking Minion, books and lego.

Simon and I always like to take the boys on an outing of their choice on their birthday.

 Just the 3 of us. Jasper chose the aquarium and bowling. We had a great time together. 

It was certainly the weekend of Jasper and we have well and truly celebrated him turning 8!

How was your weekend?

Any birthdays coming up in your house?
