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:

(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!
