My parents joined me this year for Halloween at my house. We each carved a pumpkin (in the photo above, from left to right: Kathy, Dad, and Mom). We had an easy and delicious dinner with mostly purchased items from Wegmans.

• Vegetables and Blue Cheese Dip (Mom made the dip with blue cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, and a little whiskey)
• Wegmans Trick-or-Treat Cheese Tray
• Wegmans Halloween Cake

I put the trick-or-treat items in individual bags because it delights my trick-or-treaters. Keeping with tradition, I also bought a Halloween book for my 4-year-old next-door neighbor. We wrapped it in tissue paper, but because she’s now over 3, I also gave her the treat bag I give to the rest of my trick-or-treaters.

I had 30 treats prepared. The first kids arrived at 6:14 p.m., and by around 7:40 p.m., I was out of treats. It was cold (around 41°F) and rainy, but it was still fun!
