We had our annual pumpkin party last Saturday.\u00a0 I know I posted a lot of these pictures on Facebook already, but I like to have them saved here as well.\u00a0 We had fun costumes, delicious food, cozy apple cider, and amazingly warm weather.\u00a0 It was a delightfully wonderful day.<\/p>\n

Jennifer made this cool trifle–it was supposed to have a toy spider set in the center of the “web” but I thought it looked just as neat without it.\u00a0 And it was yummy too! Other goodies included mummy cinnamon rolls, pretzel mummies, forgotten ghosts, pumpkin oranges, an assortment of veggies and chili.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Sorry, I didn’t take any pictures of the veggies and chili.\u00a0 You’ll have to just imagine it in your minds eye.<\/p>\n

It was not too cold this year when we were carving pumpkins.\u00a0 Some years it’s FRIGID.\u00a0 I love the pictures of got of Solveig and Chloe gutting their pumpkin together.\u00a0 Despite her face, they did have a good time. Maddie decided to help Rebekah and Aaron carve their pumpkin by stabbing a bunch of knives into the top.\u00a0 They were really good sports about it and let her just poke away.\u00a0 I did eventually get her to move on to her own small pumpkin and then she proceeded to stab that one instead.\u00a0 You’ll see her smaller pumpkin in the first pumpkin picture above.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we walked down to the haybales.\u00a0 I just love those haybales.\u00a0 They’re so cool.\u00a0 This year they had the Cheshire cat which I thought was a nice addition.\u00a0 The kids enjoyed climbing on them–although Levi wouldn’t go up with Chloe, only with Auntie Jen.

The costumes the kids wore this year were awesome.\u00a0 The Aldrich kids were dressed as characters from Alice in wonderland (Mad Hatter, Alice, the Queen of Hearts, a cat, and a bunny).\u00a0 The Nelson kids were dressed as Peter Pan characters (Tinkerbell, Peter Pan and His Shadow).\u00a0 And ours were in their Halloween costumes… I feel like I really should up my game next year and have a theme of costumes too!!!<\/p>\n

Josiah picked out our pumpkin design this year and was very excited at how it turned out.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t myself this year and forgot to get individual pictures of each family, and somehow I managed to go the whole weekend without getting a single picture of myself or Tim.\u00a0 Oh, dear.\u00a0 I’ll have to be sure to carry my camera around more next year.<\/p>\n

After stuffing ourselves with chili and goodies, the kids played outside until it was dark (and then a little longer!) and the Littles and women watched Ferdinand and talked.\u00a0 The guys watched the football game in the basement.\u00a0 Another pumpkin party in the books!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
