oh my the we had so much food over the weekend lol it was my birthday, my cousin and my nephew's! we had it as one celebration over at grandma's house. We had the kids over and had a little halloween party for them with candies too. i made this chocolate fountain and used white chocolate and put color red in it to make it look like blood! lol since there were three of us celebrating my cousin baked three cakes for us.. it was a blast as my little boys and my daughter had so much fun.. and me and my cousins were able to talk after a long long time.. it was also a reunion of some sorts!

Well, from what I could understand in your discussion, it would seem that you, of all people, have had a big meal of food, especially of sweet cakes, candy, etc.. Well I suppose you spent happy times, important is the fact that children have a lot of fun in this party. Then, birthday parties always bring a joy for the whole family, and relatives are invited. Then add the fact that you,  people of the States have the Halloween party as a ritual. Lately it is celebrated a little too in Italy (my country), but here it is much less felt than your part.

That's what I love about joint celebrations. It turns almost always to family reunions. I'm sure you guys will have some more food leftover to tide you over until the weekend, haha! Glad to know that you guys had a really fun Halloween.

Belated happy birthday. I'm glad you enjoyed your birthday celebrations. I think these special occasions are really some sort of mini reunion. We also do triple celebration for my father and 2 younger brothers on July and all of us are present even my grand mothers are there. These times are one of the best and memorable events of our family yearly.

I saw some of your photos and it looked like you sure have fun. Bonding with the family creates a stronger bond. I just wish we can do the same but unfortunately, this is not possible. Anyway, Happy Happy Birthday. May God bless you more.

It sounded like you enjoyed the family gathering back then. Family gathering can be so much fun especially when you are celebrating some occasion during the day. Relatives get together and actually share and socialize with one another. at the same time having to prepare various dishes and enjoy them together while watching the kids running and playing around. Those are sure moments that can be memorable all the time.
