Halloween 2011
Zachary's first Halloween was experienced with his Grandparents! We all had a wonderful evening celebrating our little Yellow Jacket! And, Zachary seemed to enjoy being in costume.

Matt & I agreed before hand that this year Matt, Poppi & Bop-Bop would walk Zachary trick-or-treating while Nonnie and I staid back at the house to pass out candy (next year we will switch roles). So, when Zachary walked away I couldn't help but tear up with joy! For approximately 10 years I dreamed of the day we would have our child home to go trick-or-treating! And, I was finally blessed to experience it's reality! The evening started with a short walk to the tennis courts to witness the neighborhood parade!

A little while later, Nonnie and I spotted our little Yellow Jacket walking towards out house and trick-or-treating at the houses nearest us. (We both hugged and had another joyful moment.) Once back home, Zachary (still in costume) helped us pass out candy to all the children. He was tickled to be able to answer the door, greet the little goblins & put candy into their bags. He eagerly jumped up to get his duties in motion!

Maybe because this year's Halloween was on a Monday, but we did not have near the trick-or-treaters as in years past. We ended up only passing out 1/2 of the candy we purchased to pass out.

It was a FUN night!
