This Halloween was one of the best days ever! Tyler and I dressed up as Buffalo Bills football players, and mom and dad put on their Bills jerseys too. Unfortunately, with all of the craziness and constant "doorbell ringing," we forgot to get a family picture! Here is mom with her "little pumpkin" before he got into his costume.
Our first visitors were Nani, Poppy, and my Great Aunt Linda (who came from New Hampshire). Of course, I was super excited to see them, and even more excited to show them my lollipop. I learned very quickly why all kids love Halloween.....CANDY!!!!
After dinner, my mom and I went to a few houses in the neighborhood. Here I am getting special cookies from Anne Vieau. "Trick-or-Treat!"
Then, we went over to the Fazios house, and Meg had lots of special treats waiting for me, including a giant lollipop. Did I mention that I love Halloween!
When we got home, the doorbell just kept ringing, and I was always the first in line to answer it. I loved seeing all of the kids in their costumes, and my job was to pass out candy. I was surprisingly generous with the candy, and we went through two 5 lb. bags (and then had to dip into mom's secret candy stash). 
There were a few short breaks in the action when I could actually sit down and relax for a bit (although I never ventured far from the candy dish). Here I am trying to eat a tootsie pop with the wrapper still on....clearly, I will do anything to get some candy!
As you can see, Halloween at the Dera house was tons of fun...and now I can't wait for next year.
Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
