October 31st - Halloween and Alexia's 4th Birthday Party

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!

Little girls seem to be quite excited for their Halloween party. Went for a tournament at one of the well-arranged event locations with my friend recently. Got the tickets online and bought some coupons for refreshments too. Cheered our favorite teams. Will never miss any in our city from now onwards.
