4th Annual Pumpkin Carving Party

Saturday October 24th was our 4th Annual Pumpkin Carving Party! We were expecting a lot more people than usual this year, but unfortunately with the flu season still looming, we had a few cancellations. We had a great time even though some of our favorite people couldn't make it.

Our three pumpkin categories and winners are below:
Ugliest: Casey Motherway (brother/in-law)
Scariest: Dylan Ackley (our nephew)
Most Creative: Kevin Hoffman (Jared's friend)

Usually I take a ton more photos, but this year my feet were swelling up faster than I expected and I was just exhausted from all the work....special thanks to my mom and sister for all their help in the kitchen....and many others for helping out! I am not sure I could have pulled the party together if it weren't for all my amazing friends/family.

Here is me posing with my fabulous pumpkin smuggler shirt (thanks Aunt B):
