This was Sam’s first real birthday party – with friends instead of just family.\u00a0 He decided back in April that he was going to have a Halloween-themed party and never deviated.\u00a0 Thank goodness the stores stock Halloween items as early as September 1st, it made shopping much easier.\u00a0 He was very particular about some things, like a bat pinata and “orange and black triangles that you hang from the ceiling.”\u00a0 I’m so happy that Ben decoded his description to mean flag bunting, I had no idea why we would hang triangles the way he described it!\u00a0 Betty also came over to help out and make the party special.<\/p>\n
The kiddos arrived and played with ghostie balloons until everyone arrived.\u00a0 Next they decorated their goodie bags to look like jack-o-lanterns.\u00a0 We had some outside games like Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin and a bat pinata, then cake and presents.\u00a0 They also enjoyed just running around in the yard like Kindergarteners naturally do.<\/p>\n
When asked about his party, Sam gives me a big thumbs up and says it was GREAT!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
