halloween (part I)

I had so much fun this Halloween. And I took a million pictures as proof. Addison is at the perfect age. She is so curious and excited about every new thing. I will always remember the decorating that went in to every holiday at our house so I've been trying to do the same thing ever since Addison was born. This year I upped the fun. I bought some additional decorations for the house and the yard. She loved it!

We went on the search, in the rain, for the perfect pumpkin. Addison had to have a little one for Morgan and a big one for herself.
The next night we carved them. Let's just say that it's hard to use a large bread knife (see knife below) to cut a pumpkin. The next day I got home from work and my dad had left a nice pumpkin carving kit from Williams-Sonoma on the table. Thanks Dad! But it was a day late.

The finished project. Boy I need to work on my skills. We decided to call it "Morganhead". It was the most perfect shaped pumpkin in the front, but a little flat in the back. :) More to come.
