Pumpkin Carving

I love Halloween. It is the best holiday. So many fun things to do, and no one to buy gifts for. I get so stressed about what to buy people for Christmas, but this holiday we can just have parties, play together, and not have to worry about gifts (the costume thing may be worse for some people, but it is alright for me). It also remindes me of how great it is to be a kid, they just light up at all the fun things to do this time of year. Braxton did his pumpkin on both sides, one with a regular Jack-o-Lantern, and the other side with a bat.

Dakota would hardly touch his, but Brent helped him and he pulled out the pieces as Grandpa went.

We had a Family Home evening with some of Shane's family on Monday (Brent, Rebecca, Lisa, Neil, Weston, Paige, Chelsea, and Landon) at our house. It was so much fun. We carved pumpkins, made carmel apples, and ate delicious homemade donuts. A few of us went for the fancy pumpkin carving, but me and Cam stuck to the regualr square eyes, traingle nose pumpkin. All of my boys love this time of year almost as much as I do. They get very into the trick-or-treating, and parties, and especially the pumpkin selling. They all especially love using knives to cut up all sorts of things, and this is one occasion when it is alright with thier mom and dad.
