Baby's First Halloween

This year we spent our Halloween at home, since Elizabeth is still too young to really get excited about the holiday and since Kevin had purchased some pumpkins ( and up until that night we hadn't had a chance to carve them), we asked Grandma Judy to come over and help with Elizabeth so we could work on our jack o'lanterns. She was happy to come spend time with our little monkey and even brought over the fixings for sloppy joes so we could have a quick meal and get down to carving. Thanks Mom! Here's our little pumpkin family glowing through our front window, bet you can't guess who made which pumpkin, of course Elizabeth had a little help with hers ( since she basically slept through the excitement this year). We can't wait until she is bigger and we can really have a lot of fun with this family tradition ( and many others )!

My Pumpkin - "Who Are You?"

I couldn't find a face I really liked, so I settled for

one in the Pumpkin Carving Masters pattern book

Baby Elizabeth - Lil' Punkin' Head

If you click on this picture to make it bigger

you can see the little baby mouth we drilled

We tried to make it look like her, and I think it does

We hope everyone had a spooktacular Halloween! We can't wait for next year, we are already brainstorming 3 person costumes . . . Ooh, what should we be. . . so many ideas to choose from!
