Usually, October 31st means it’s Halloween and we celebrate an observed day at another time for Stephen’s birthday. Since we had Superstorm Sandy and Trick or Treat was moved, we will have observed Halloween on Friday. So, we had a birthday party! It was just the 4 of us and we had a great time.
The kids and I hung some decorations. We also bought 4 Mylar balloons.
We (the kids) set the table with fun birthday décor.
They greeted Stephen at the door with happy birthday signing. We enjoyed dinner at home. Then, the kids used teamwork to carry a gift over to him.
Nick wrapped and decorated this gift all by himself. He even made a card and punched holes to attach it to the gift.
There was singing and silliness and then there was dessert. Once a year, I make apple dumplings.
They are hard to photograph, but are extremely tasty. We use lots of cinnamon. Everyone loved them.
Happy Birthday Stephen! It might be quite sometime before we can celebrate on Oct 31st again.
