Pumpkin Carving Fun!

The Monday before Halloween, we had
Travis' parents, and brother Tyler, as well
as our good friends Bart and Shantyl over
for FHE. We ate mamma Holloways
delicious chili and pumpkin roll, and then
carved dad Holloways home grown pumpkins!
It was so nice to have them all over. We're glad
to have them live nearby.

Here's the gang getting started on their
pumpkin creations.



Here is Trav getting our pumpkin started. We
decided to carve our pumpkins together (which
turned out to be really nice when de-gooping came
around). I think we make a good team. =)

Our friends Bart and Shantyl working on their
pumpkin. Bart is going to school to be a dentist,
so we teased him that pumpkin carving would
be good practice for his future career.

And here are our pumpkin creations:
a happy pumpkin face (notice the
pumpkin top eye brows, tombstone
eyes, and witches hat nose. We thought
we were being pretty creative)...

A view in the dark: (they look so
much better that way!)

And a racoon in a pumpkin (this one
was NOT our design, but I thought
it was really cute so we did it).

After crafting our pumpkins, we placed
them outside our door for the trick-or-
treaters to enjoy. Pumpkins galore!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

That looks like it was fun. Your pumpkins look great. I wish we were closer to share those fun times.
