Halloween is a big deal for me, always has been! When we were kids we'd dress up and do a ton of trick or treating!
Back then we'd use pillow cases for candy and would literally drag them home when they were full. And still I stand at the door every year handing out piles of tasty treats.
Dan always shakes his head - you should only give out a couple or you're going to run out! But it's so fun watching the kids each year, I haven't the heart... I just buy extra candy.
