Happy 8th Birthday Wei

I can't believe he's 8. 

My bald round baby is SO not bald anymore and far from round. 

This year he had a small party and as it turned out his birthday fell on President's day this year so that there was no school on his birthday. Perfect day to do the party I thought but it turns out people go out of town on long weekends. It was still a fun time with the small numbers and his brother and sisters helped make up for some of that. 

Weiland wanted a Panda party this year. What was I going to do with that? So I OK'ed it with him to make it more of a Kung Fu Panda party. 

So bummed I didn't get pictures of the invites we took around. I used my Cricut and cut out a 5 inch or so panda and attached him to a mini take out box that I had put some Twizzler pull n peels in (which I pulled apart to look like noodles). 

Big day. 

We had started doing this on Quinton's birthday and all the kids loved it so it has now become a must do on birthdays. We filled enough balloons to cover his bedroom floor (which also covered the mess that was covering the bedroom floor). Todd and I finally got smart and use his air compressor to fill balloons, we can do so many more this way. 

 My attempt at a Panda cake

 

table ready to go

I found glow stick straws at Walmart that were pretty fun.

These were the favors they got to take home

 

We played some Kung Fu Panda games:

Like picking up candy with chopsticks to test their concentration 

 The shell game to test their memory

And the balloon stomp game to test their stealth

Then headed to the table to enjoy some cake and ice cream

 Happy Birthday to my sweet boy!
