Carving pumpkins

We started out by going to a pumpkin patch and picking out some pumpkins. Iailey thought it was great that she had so many options to choose from. She did a great job picking out the perfect one. Then we were off to Matt's mom's to carve the pumpkins. Many years ago Matt's brother Stacy gathered us all up and got us started carving these fun pumpkins which has now become a tradition every year. We all look forward to it. We always have a great dinner and then carve the pumpkins. It's a great time together.

Alex loves the dip! Can you tell? Loved the messy face, so cute.

Sweet baby Lola sat in the highchair and was such a good baby the whole time. She just watched what everyone was doing.

Grandma Grace was so sweet and brought treats for her Great Grand kids and Grand kids for Halloween because she wasn't going to be around on Halloween day. Thanks we loved the cookies!



The final result! They all turned out great!

Matt's is the cat (for Ellidy because she loves kitty's) and Iailey's is the smiley face next to the cat. Easton had a birthday party so he didn't make it out to carve pumpkins this year, we have one at home for him that hopefully we'll find the time to carve at home.

We always have to light them up and see how they look. The kids get so excited when they are all lit up.
