We hosted a pumpkin carving party! I happily stayed up until 2 a.m. one night to make trophies for our carvers. This consisted of breaking down Dollar Store skeletons and hot gluing them back into new, and sometimes fierce, positions - some with added accessories too. Their stand? Dominos. Categories ranged from best in show to most spirited.
Bentley was ready to party once he was in his pumpkin shirt.
We served a variety of fall beers and treats including a delicious corn dip.
Lovely tulips from Cara.
Carving away...
We lit the pumpkins and trophies were given. Jen won best in show with pumpkin pie.
Jen also won most clever, Nick - sexiest, Elle - most original, Stephanie - cutest, Laura - spookiest, Cara - diva, Amy, Laura and Ryan - happiest, Kat and Adam - most elaborate, and Chris and May won most spirited (most traditional and funniest were also categories).
We stopped for a quick fall foliage photo shoot and continued to carve...
All of this carving made for some very cool pumpkins.
Hank and I carved the Old Well. This party certainly made Sunday grand, and you can read even more about it over at one of my coolest (and most stylish) friend Elle's blog.
