My birthday celebrations - 44!

I've had a beautiful few days enjoying my birthday celebrations. 44 this year!

It kicked off with flowers, gifts and phone calls from family and friends, a donut cake and a dinner out with family. There was a brunch with friends the next day and more cake...

Then Simon and I had a night away and a beautiful dinner at Jonah's at Whale Beach.

It was a perfect end to my birthday celebrations. 

 I feel truly spoiled and ready for the adventures of another year x

 

Noah turns 9!

 There was a birthday in the house yesterday, Noah turned 9!

We celebrated on the weekend with his friends from school with a bowling and laser tag party and a soccer themed cake.

Then we had presents and a family birthday dinner last night with a chocolate sundae in lieu of a cake. Noah loves tacos and as his birthday fell on a Tuesday it was perfect for a Taco Tuesday/ Birthday Fiesta theme. I picked up the party decorations from Big W and decorated the table with a few bits n pieces from around the house.

The years are flying by and I can't believe the baby of the family is 9 and getting so grown up!

 I've popped up some photos from his birthday celebrations below...

Jasper turns 13.

Well, we have another teenager in the house! Jasper turned 13 today.

We had presents in the morning, phone calls from family then off to school. 

We then celebrated with Jasper's favourite chocolate cake for afternoon tea and a promise of a future celebration with friends later on in the year. 

Of course we had the obligatory helium balloons in the birthday numbers but they were a tough find this year! I had to hunt around and the only 13 I could find was in rose gold. 

(There must be lots of celebrations happening this month?!)

Jasper had a smile on his face all day and had a great birthday. 

He is just the sweetest and we love him so much!

Happy Birthday Jassie xx

Noah turns 8!

Amongst all of the craziness + uncertainty in the world at the moment, our baby turned 8!

 It was definitely a quieter birthday than other years. Due to COVID19 we cancelled his birthday party and a family gathering and instead celebrated with balloons, presents, a day together at home and a birthday cake for dessert.

Our beautiful boy was thrilled with his day and totally understood the need for a different kind of celebration this year. Definitely a birthday to remember. 

 8 years of smiles and happiness. We love you Noah xx

Noah turns 7!

Our gorgeous Noah turned 7 on the weekend.

He had been counting down the days until his birthday and he was so excited to celebrate!

We had cake and presents with the family on Saturday and a party with his school friends on the Sunday. His birthday was well and truly celebrated!

Party bag preparation....

We outsourced his party again this year. It's been a long time since we have had a party at home and honestly I don't think we ever will again. It's so nice to have the kids entertained and leave the mess behind! As well as sitting back and watching the kids enjoy themselves instead of rushing about.

There were trampolines, party games, tug of war, races etc

They had the best time :)

For the cake for his friends I grabbed a chocolate Sara Lee slab cake and decorated it with smarties.

Too easy!

Happy birthday to our sweet Noah. We love you soooo much!

The photo below came up on my Facebook memories, it was from Noah's 2nd birthday.

I can't believe how much they have all grown up over the past 5 years. It really goes so fast.

How was your weekend?

Jasper turns 11

We had a birthday in the house yesterday. Our sweet Jasper turned 11! 

He woke up to birthday balloons and presents, we went to see Avengers Infinity at the movies and blew out some candles on cake for afternoon tea. 

We're going to do a joint birthday lunch with family on the weekend and a party with friends in the 

next couple of weeks as we celebrate our gorgeous boy.

Happy birthday Jasper, we love you xx

Noah turns 6!

Our gorgeous boy Noah turned 6 the other day.

He started the morning surrounded by colourful balloons. He was so excited!

He opened up his presents in bed before heading off to school with some birthday cupcakes to share with his class. We had a small cake with the family in the afternoon and Noah loved the fact that it was his special day and all about him.

On Sunday we had a party with all of his new school friends. He invited all the boys in his class and they had a wonderful time running around together for a couple of hours. 

Another chocolate cake (his favourite) some party bags and the birthday celebrations for Noah were complete for another year. Our baby is all grown up!

How was your weekend? Any birthday celebrations at your place?
