Pumpkin Carving Party 2011

We held our somewhat annual Pumpkin Carving Party on Sunday afternoon.  Last year we had to cancel because everyone in our house was sick, so glad that wasn't the case this year.  We had 15 pumpkins carved this year.  Fun to see all the different designs that were created.  We had prizes at the end for:  Spookiest, Most Original, Best Kid Created, etc... and a Best Overall/Grand Champion too.
