The Friday before Halloween, our church held a party.  We (and by "we" I mean just our little guy) dressed in costume, we loaded up the car with candy, and we headed out.

our military man

part of the festivities included a Parade of Costumes -- surprisingly, this guy REALLY wanted to be in it and loved every minute of it

as soon as he saw Dad at the edge of the stage, he took off running

still super excited about the parade

not so thrilled posing with Mom

shortly after the parade, the carnival games opened up

and he won lots of candy

and then we headed outside for the Trunk-or-Treat, where people set up their cars around the parking lot for kids to trick-or-treat

unlike last year, this guy was not the least bit shy about asking for or taking candy from strangers

waiting on the hood of Mom's car after we finished the rounds and Dad was still handing out candy

best. night. ever.

back home, exhausted and admiring his haul
