XAVIER'S 2ND BIRTHDAY PARTY

A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated Xavier's 2nd birthday at home with food, friends and fun decorations. Xavier is in LOVE with animals so we decided on a forest animal theme with the little Holztiger wooden animals from his room as well as felt animal masks for the kids.

Xavier looking so sweet waiting for his friends...

This flower wall was so simple…my amazing husband did a great job randomly putting the flowers up with washi tape.

If you are in Vancouver, Butter Baked Goods makes the most delicious cake. It has become our go-to bakery for birthday cakes because the flavour never disappoints. If you aren't nearby, they share all of their amazing recipes in the cookbook, Butter.

It was a such a fun morning of friends, play and yummy treats celebrating our favourite little guy, Xavier. Happy Birthday sweet boy!

Our girls have been begging for a tea party all summer. For 3-year-olds, they sure love a good party; the decorations, special food and most of all, having friends over. I didn't want to spend weeks preparing so kept it simple with tea cups, a teepee, cupcakes and magic wands. I sourced the tea cups from the thrift store and made the wands and cupcakes the night before. They were delighted!

I have a feeling there will be many more summer play dates over the years. What little things do you do to make play dates special and memorable for your little ones?
