The Pumpkin Carving Reunion Party - AT LAST

The festivities actually began last week with apple and pumpkin picking with friends.

The festivities lasted all week while we prepared. Decorating is sort of a way of life at our house.
And FINALLY, the Pumpkin Party.

The new additions this year:

- Pumpkin Rolling Races - were a huge hit with the young crowd.

-"The Emerald Pumpkin" a new award...with no true criteria yet, but still fun to give out.

The biggest difference between last night's party and the ones of the past was the amount of kids. Years ago we'd have the occasional nursing infant, but this year we had loads of kids. It was different, but still amazing. We still managed to have music and merriment and stay up too late. The pictures speak for themselves.

Here's little Sean K. He was pretty excited about attending his first pumpkin party.

Leah, Luke, and Liam underneath Chuckie's totally amazing and awesome jack-o'lantern scarecrow.
Skyler and Finn - he actually called her "Sky-sky"!
The pumpkin rolling races were definitely big fun!

The garage all cozy and set up for music fun.

All I can say is, it's good to be back! Hope to see you next year.
