For Crew’s 8th birthday, we opted to burn allll the energy on a cold December evening with his friends – we rented some turf and voila, a soccer party!

Between a an extra-long Christmas break (due to a blizzard) and non-stop temps that didn’t allow us to get outside, this was the BEST way to spend an evening over break. The boys all played hard for an hour, reffed by Page.

The next hour was spent in a party room, playing soccer bingo for prizes (anything to build in some sit-still time ha!), pizza, donuts, presents, and eventually more make-shift soccer with many of the balloons. #boys

For favors, we sent each kiddo with a baggie of Airheads (Crew’s current fave), Fun Dip, and soccer ball fidget spinners.

A fun night with just our oldest, the most grateful kiddo. So happy to focus on just him and celebrate this awesome EIGHT YEAR OLD (who, bonus — is old enough to help with setup and tear down now ha!).

And just a little proof that boys – and this age right now – are the actual cutest.
