This was the first year we took Derek trick or treating. Last year I was on partial bed rest so we decided to wait for this year. We were unsure how Derek would enjoy it so we had been practicing all week: ringing the doorbell, saying trick or treat, and saying thank you. We bundled up the clan. Will quickly fell asleep as he was all warm in his costume. We started next door at Mr Kevin and Mrs. Donna's house. D was so excited. Mr Kevin said boo loundly and both D and I jumped. D loved it. We only did a few more houses before D was tired and said he was all done. Then he saw a runner and preceded to run after him. Then he discovered the real holiday: CANDY! D has had M&Ms (in large quantity due to potty training) but has not really had much candy otherwise. We gave him a bite of kit kat and butterfinger. His eyes lit up and he asked to go trick or treating the next day again! Go back to Mr. Kevins house again mommy he kept asking.
When we got home. Mike ran ahead so D's last stop could be our house. D rang the doorbell and launched himself into Daddy's arms giggling.. and asked for lots of candy. We had a great time. It was a great first experience for all of us.

Boo! Hoo! Wish I could have joined you for T or T, what a wonderful time. Hope you all feel better soon.
Great pictures, but I especially love the one of him chasing the runner. It looks like a tiny little wild animal on the loose, like you might see in a headline. It makes me giggle.
Awww, what a precious time and a even more precious kiddo! Love the back view of the costume. hee, hee
