Xander's 6th Birthday Party

Xander had his 6th Birthday party on Saturday 31st July... one day early.... but the Marina was being taken up with a Multi Cultural Fair on the Sunday....

It was a great day for a party... unfortunately half of Gladstone thought the same thing - so we couldn't get a sheltered area near the BBQ.... (not that we needed a BBQ) .... I dropped Jade off with Jaime and headed home and to Mom and Dad's place to pick up Shades and tables..... then rushed back...

Due to Blake still being sick with Hand, Foot & Mouth - I had to leave him at Mom and Dad's place for the afternoon.... so it was just Jade & I.... which is always nice too....

We ended up finding a perfect spot under some trees so most of the area we were in was shaded as well as having a picnic table there... (not the one the kids are at though....) it turned out really well :)





The Birthday Boy....

Little Declan...... (who had just cut his second tooth that afternoon)

Talon....

The elastic from the mask got stuck.... :)

Bailey... always the poser.....
(apparently this is him advertising Multi-V Orange juice for all the energy that a transformer needs!)

The tree was the biggest hit of the party.... the kids spent most of their time up there.....





Blaze....





Luke...
(Xander's Uncle)

Talon kept escaping.... or chasing birds....
he was having a great time....





Jaime icing a cupcake to stick Xander's birthday candle in....


Birthday Cupcakes.... each individually iced by Jaime....
no store bought icing shapes to stick on....

Lego.... every boy's favourite present....



Xander making sure he gets all the icing - including what is stuck on the candle from his cupcake... ehhee

Jade picked a Transformers cupcake....

Declan trying out his new teeth....
(ok - probably more than likely he was just mushing with his gums... but.... he was enjoying it)

Talon getting into his cupcake....

Transformers Piñata

They all pull a string and one is supposed to magically let out all of the goodies....
(I have never seen one of this work correctly)

and this day was going to be no exception..... down came the Piñata... intact

and they're all getting in there... not to get the goodies - but to just rip it open...

Let's break off the leg... that'll work for sure!!!

They did eventually get into it......

Melissa

Pass the Parcel.....

Everytime the parcel went around - Blaze would bop Jade over the head with it.....
he had a crush... was so cute.... and Jade definitely returned the affection.... :)



Pass the Parcel is a messy game...


Time to get out the Bikes and Scooters....

Bailey & Jade

Luke

I think Jade must have given up... hehe

Damian is a little too tall for the kids play area....


Cheeky Talon....

Melissa brought Jade some Magic Bubbles.....

One happy little Monster she was that day.....


The party was a huge success... the kids had a great time.... We got back to Mom and Dad's place in time for Blake to wake up too... how lucky was that?? heh
