The Annual Pumpkin Carving

Evey year our family and the Farmer family get together and carve pumkins. We have been doing it now for. . . 5 years, I think.

This is our first year carving pumkins.

We love this tradition. Edda (Ryan) and Troy (Dippy) have been friends since middle school, and I met Troy because Edda offered me a ride home. Anyway, we don't get to see them very much so when we do get together it is a real treat. So we get together and have dinner and do pumkins. Every year we all pick some fun designs out of a book and every year Edda picks the most complicated and takes forever to finish. This year to his credit he did pick a very complicated one but he finished it in record time. (he is getting better!) Here are some pictures of our fun night.
