Pumpkin Carving 2013

The day of Blake's party, we also did pumpkin carving with the family.  We did this last year also - my parents started to plant pumpkins in their garden and they got over 30 pumpkins from one packet of seeds this year!  So, we had plenty to go around.  My sisters and their families were still at our house, my parents, as well as Aaron's mom and step-dad :)
 
We went down in our basement to carve the pumpkins - in the room that will some day be my craft room.  The set-up worked out really well!

The group getting started!
Grandma Bonnie helping cleean out Blake's pumpkin
Addy chose the same design as she did last year...Minnie Mouse.  I'm SURE that Aaron was THRILLED to help out with carving this again!  (note the sarcasm, ha ha)
After grandmpa Bonnie helped clean out Blake's pumpkin, grandpa Paul helped carve!
Aaron hard at work on his own pumpkin!
Chase worked really hard at his pumpkin also :)


The finished product!
Everyone's pumpkins turned out good.  Here's a group shot of the majority of them.

 ANDERSON FAMILY PUMKINS, 2013:

Left to Right: Mine (my dad actually carved mine for me!), Chase's (I did this one), Blake's, Addy's, and Aaron's.  Aaron was originally supposed to be the Superman Symbol, however, there is a flaw in the pattern so there isn't much support for the design...and it was a failure.  Soooo, he improvied and made this random face :)  It cracks me up!
I think that pumpkin carving on the day of Blake's birthday party (and now Chase's) is officially a tradition for us!  Such fun!!!!
