Happy Halloween, Y'all!!
(invitation artwork by The Princess)
We hosted our first *pumpkin carving party* way back in 1999. (I was inspired by the coolest article in Martha Stewart Living that year). Since then we've hosted several more--tonight will be the fourth. They are so much fun! It's always a B.Y.O.P. (bring-your-own-pumpkin) affair and we always have chili (white and traditional). And we always have a winner who gets to wear The Pumpkin Hat. Tonight we have even more prizes! Those runners-up won't feel left out anymore.
Here's a little stroll down pumpkin-carving-memory-lane:
1999
2003
2007
And now for tonight's party:
2008
(there were a few missing for the "group" shot, I think)
And here are our "family pumpkins":
Vince's:
Lora's:
The Princess's
(She wanted more of the traditional look, but she drew out exactly what she wanted.
The eyelashes were especially important to her).
Mr. B's
(Daddy did his *Larry-Boy* style
since that's who he's dressing up as for Halloween).
It was a great party!

I LOVED all your pixs. What a fun night it should be for you all. Especially I'm drawn to yours, very creative and magic candle..
Happy Scary Halloween with lots of BOO's;)
It looks like you guys had lots of fun! I would love a ride in Cinderella's carriage!!
I love those! I'm especially drawn to the Larry-Boy. We are Veggietales lovers in our house.
What fun! You are simply amazing...how do you find the time to come up with all of these great ideas, let alone carry them out?!?! You are my hero! :)
Thanks for sending me your pumpkins! They are great!
