Halloween highlights.....

or ...

"Yes, we are ALL a Tom Brady family!"

But first, the c*a*n*d*y!!!

Isn't it pretty and colorful?!?

So I'm the dork that take pics of the candy bowl...whatev!

Even Bailey gets in the spirit!

How cute is he?!?

In true Beagle fashion, though, he was not even remotely interested in having his picture taken. This dog is all about the TREATS!

My favorite little Trick-or-Treater!

Could this kid be any cuter?!?

Clearly, my brother enjoys having his picture taken...

LOVE seeing Jonathan and Papou together! Melts. my. heart.

And he loves his YiaYia sooo much!!!

My most favorite football player of all time!!!

{{{sigh}}}

A young Tom Brady in the making!!!

Uncle Kevin is so proud of his sports lovin' nephew!!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After Jonathan left to go Trick-or-Treating we had about 25 kids at our house. Early in the night it looked like it was going to be a slow night so I was giving the kids 4 or 5 pieces of candy each. That quickly backfired when more and more kids kept showing up! We had to start rationing the candy and finally at 7:45PM it was lights out. The candy bowl was empty. And we did not squirrel away a few pieces each of our favorites. Nope. It was all for the kids. Yep, for the kids...

that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

A New England Girl said...: Little Brady looks adorable! Maybe the next football start of the Pats? One can only hope! :) It sounds like you guys had a lovely Halloween too... My parents only reported 2 or 3 trick or treaters... how sad is that?! So disappointing. :)

Oh, and Bailey looks adorable, too! Love the costume. :); 11/01/2009 4:23 PM

Lucky duck, you guys had treaters...we didn't have a single one. :-( And now we have an insane amount of good candy. Grrr...I tried to get Chris to get the licorice b/c we won't eat it, but that didn't work.; 11/01/2009 7:31 PM

Jenny said...: Methinks thou dost protest too much (about the candy) ha! And I also took a picture of our candy bowl so I guess we'll both have to be moderately dork-like - ha!; 11/02/2009 10:18 AM
Carma Sez said...: Jonathan looked so cute in his Brady costume. I love how you have artfully arranged the candy bowl, as opposed to others of us, who just grab some out of the bag ;-); 11/02/2009 3:49 PM
