This time of year remains one of my favourites, it is one celebration after another between Halloween and Sydney's birthday.
Today was such a fun day for Syd. Her class had a Halloween party at school so she went to school dressed in costume. She has been asking me for months if she could be Elsa, the princess from the Frozen movie, for Halloween. Seems she wasn't the only one with this idea as there were six girls in her class today dressed up as Elsa. So after some thought Sydney decided that she would come dressed as a garden fairy instead.
The girls bobbed for apples, carved pumpkins, made potions and had treats and snacks. It was a day to remember!
We headed straight from school to our friend Lori and Marcus' house for our annual Dunbar families Halloween party.
Sydney and Kaitlyn were twin Elsa's, I loved watching them play with their costumes together.
After dinner and a play time together we all headed out to do some trick or treating in the neighborhood. It was such fun!
Syd took great pleasure in sorting out all of her candy when she got home.
We left the party with a loot bag filled with fun Halloween things, Sydney loved it!
Late tonight the Candy Fairy paid a little visit to our home and magically took Sydney's Halloween candy in exchange for a brand new Elsa doll to accompany the Anna doll that Zach and Danielle brought her tonight as an early birthday gift.
Yesterday Syd was off of school as her teachers were conducting parent teacher interviews. Paul and I so enjoyed having the chance to meet with the teachers and hear about how well Sydney has adjusted to life in Kindergarten.
Syd and I spent an amazing day together:
Baked her birthday cake
Iced the sugar cookies for her Frozen themed birthday party.
Watched the new episode of her favourite '19 Kids and Counting' over breakfast
Tried on some Halloween costumes
Got our candy bowl ready for the big day
Had side by side pedicures mid-morning
Followed by lunch at the Thai House
And a beautiful dinner preparation by Sydney. She told me she wanted it to look "just like Master Chef." Mission accomplished!
It's been a fun couple of days. So looking forward to Syd's birthday on Sunday and enjoying her party together with friends and family!
