Having a birthday on Halloween has become part of how she identifies herself. She loves that her birthday is so easy to remember and that everyone seems to have so much fun on her special day! From a mother's perspective, I have to admit that it's always a very hectic day anyway and throwing in birthday excitement is always an adventure!
So as per our tradition, Daddy got up extra early to make crepes for her special birthday breakfast. Since Halloween afternoons and evenings tend to be a little over-scheduled she also gets to open most of her presents at breakfast!
Then it was off to school for the big 1st grade Halloween party where I got to help 80 kids make some cool 3-D spiders.
Then it was back home for Ellie's nap, then back to school AGAIN for her individual class gathering out on the playground, where they had pumpkin relay races and lots of healthy snacks.
And last, but not least...trick or treating!Despite the craziness, it was a very fun day for all!
Happy 7th birthday to our sweet little M & M and Happy Halloween to all of you!
