What was I thinking when I agreed to have a Halloween Party for Alexia's birthday ON Halloween Day??? Both events are highly draining... could you imagine both on the same day? I think I am still recuperating and the reason why I haven't blogged in so long :) Alexia said she wanted a Halloween birthday Party and frankly, it was fun! Lots of scary foods and decorations and well, loot bags, that was super easy and a no brainer!
We carved 24 pumpkins for the event. Who am I kidding? We do this every year! I LOVE pumpkins!
Alexia wanted to be a tooth fairy so out came my sewing box to add a 'tooth' to the fairy dress we already had and a 'tooth' to the star wand. Voila! Super easy!
My friend C was reading the Martha Stewart Halloween magazine and decided that our girls would dress up as Jellyfish. They turned out really, really well. Anyone want a jellyfish umbrella? I have two floating around in my garage!
The Jellyfish Girls. They were the talk of Montreal-West!
My frien L was dressed as an Egyptian while I was a Bat.
Other adults also joined in on the fun by coming in costume as well. Thanks guys!
We had a Magic Show as entertainment which the kids loved. Alexia was his assistant and a good one too!
See how intrigued they were.
How did he do that?
For dessert, we had lots of scary stuff PLUS a candy bar.
Alexia with her Ghost cake made by Auntie L. It was a red velvet cake. Bloody!
Some of her friends waiting for their piece of cake.
And of course, after the party ended, we all hit the streets for a couple of hours of trick-or-treating. Too bad it didn't rain as the girls were equipped!
After a most tiring but fabulous day, I just wanted to let my little girl know how much I love her.
Alexia, I love you with all my heart and Happy Birthday!
