5th Annual Pumpkin Carving Extravaganza

The best night of the year - Schultz Family Pumpkin Carving FHE. This year we had 27 people at our house (of course that includes several babies who didn't help carve).

We moved the couches and table and taped down some picnic table clothes to make room for everyone. Steve made Chili and Kami brought Pumpkin Bars....we ate and carved our hearts out.

My mom helped Claire carve her pumpkin. The best part was that when my mom cut out the eyes Claire tried putting them back in like they were a puzzle. I love the pumpkin design because I think every pumpkin I ever carved as a kid was this design.

This has nothing to do with pumpkin carving...but isn't

Sophie just so dang cute!


Some of us take our carving VERY seriously. Yes, Trent is using a
measuring tape to make sure his lines are the right length.



Some of us use templates for our designs.
I can't carve a pumpkin without one!


And here they are...
For anyone who wants to see ALL the pictures from the night go here.

How fun! I remember going to your house for a carving party many, many years ago. And I think it's funny that your kitchen is the EXACT same layout as mine! =)

I love the pumpkins! It makes our pumpkin carving look so lame! My friend comes from a large family also and they have a family Halloween party each year. Every family has to do a game and the kids go around and play all the games like a carnival. I was meaning to tell you that idea because it sounded like a lot of fun. But not something I could pull off with only one sibling!!
