Little Pumpkin

We had a pumpkin-filled day yesterday! Our church connection group always has a Fall Fellowship, and this year we decided to make it an all day function. Since we all have kids now, we thought it'd be fun to meet at a pumpkin patch. We met there yesterday morning and we all had a great time.

We petted some animals.

We picked some pumpkins.

We took lots of pictures:

Westin & Adeline

Group Shots (We all got a good laugh out of these. We know that in 10 years these pictures will bring back some great memories.)

Then, Saturday night, we hosted our annual Pumpkin Carving Contest. I got the idea for this centerpiece from Southern Living. It was really cute for about the first 30 minutes, then they started to droop and fall and melt. :(

We also spiced it up a little this year by adding a costume contest.

Vietnam Vet, Hippie, & their love child (we got last place)

Wizard of Oz characters (first place)

Priest, Flo, & Ghoul (priest got 3rd)

Salt & Pepper (their girls were sleeping during photos)
