What is your first memory of being really excited?

At a birthday party for me when I was about 5 years old; lots of friends around the table having fun and laughing.
My mom always made special birthday cakes from scratch and decorated them to be some kind of thing--remembering a cake that had a white dress in frosting.

Going to the county fair when I was a kid. Always looked forward to it each year. The rides, exhibits and the food.

My first day of kindergarten. I remember my shirt was a shade of green and had a small zipper at the top and was in the 70s so guessing it was polyester. lol

Riding in a horse drawn sleigh down snow covered roads in Vermont when I was around 5 or 6. Pretty exciting for a city boy.

I remember always being so excited when we'd get together with our aunts and uncles and cousins. So much fun!

Spending summer vacation with my parents, brother and sister and having a lot of Aunts and Uncles and their children with us. They were wonderful days. We would go to the seashore the first 2 weeks of July. There were cousins my age and my sisters age and even my older brothers age. Those were the good old days.

I remember as a small girl when my relations from London visited us in the countryside, being fascinated by my aunties glamorous clothes, high heels and make up, they used to give me their handbags to play with and I always found tubes of bright red lipstick and small bottles of perfume, items my mother didn’t use being a country girl

I went to school in England when I was 4 but had to wait until I was 5 to go to kindergarten. The first thing I was excited about was in 1965 when we flew to Canada. We didn’t get our own house immediately but in a few months we did and I had my own room. Before I shared a room with my two brothers and slept on a cot. My own room was awesome. I was excited
