pumpkin carving

Over the weekend, I had a pumpkin carving party at my house. The pumpkins turned out quite well, and were more creative than I had expected.

Here's my pumpkin (I'm thinking of wearing a Hawaiian outfit for Halloween, so it goes with the theme):


Here are the rest of the pumpkins:


From left to right, you can see Bowser, a haunted castle, a pirate ship, a scared face, my tropical island, another scared face, and a Pikachu.

For dinner, in honor of Halloween and our overachieving apple tree, we had pumpkin cake, apple & almond salad, apple pork chops, pumpkin bread pudding, and hot apple cider. Mmm, I love holiday food.
