Our friends came to our house this past weekend for our annual Pumpkin Carving Contest! I love that we have been having this tradition for five years straight! Our kids enjoy carving (or painting) just as much as the adults!

We spread all the kids out on the grass and let them paint their pumpkins first. Easton was excited to participate this year!

When it was time to start the contest, we put some scary music on and went to work! I love how “in the zone” everyone gets for this every year.

 

Our judges came at dark and left ribbons on the winners – we had funny, scary, and cute pumpkins! I love looking at the finished products each year.

 

Next, we sang Happy Birthday to Aunt Heidi and had cupcakes!

Another fun night of tradition to add to our books – next on the agenda is getting our Halloween costumes ready!
