Pumpkin Carving Party

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."
-George Eliot

Last Friday we had some of our favorite friends over for a pumpkin carving party...it was a blast! The rain even stopped for the evening so we got to be outside in the crisp air, drinking apple cider, sitting by the fire, and participating in some competitive pumpkin carving. Justin brought power tools, Kyle spent the day finding designs on the internet, and Heidi brought accessories for her pumpkin! This is why we love our Wenatchee family! Kels B even made roasted pumpkin seeds out of our pumpkin guts :-)

Petra brought her own little green pumpkin from her garden, Mason wore his monkey costume, Libby was the judge for the contest, and Jack ate some pumpkin guys saying, "mmmmm tastes like carved pumpkin"!

It was wonderful spending an evening with great friends. We are so blessed to have all these amazing people in our lives. Oh, and in case you were wondering, Libby chose "Grandma Heidi's pumpkin" as the winner....wonder why?!
