Last year we started a new tradition in our home (if you don't remember its worth revisiting Landon with his 1st pumpkin). It is called our "Pumpkin Celebration". Basically it is a night were we totally get everything that is pumpkin out of our system. This year the menu was : London Broil with Pumpkin Risotto, Pumpkin and White Bean Soup, Pumpkin seeds, and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip muffins. Yes we kinda overdo it but that's part of the fun!
Of course, we carved our pumpkin as well.

Landon was a little curious about what was inside...
...and liked what he found!
Rylee took a very active role in the pumpkin carving this year...in fact she designed our pumpkin's face all by herself.
Ta-da! We thought her design was fantastic! My favorite part was its big toothy grin! (I carved the ghost pumpkin at a YW activity at church).
Rylee took it totally upon herself to make us all a game to play. She drew two pictures, pinned them up and blind folded us. Then we played pin the ghost in the mouth and the pumpkin on the spot. How creative!
We finished off the night by dancing to the Monster Mash (no pics...sorry!) and with baths to wash off pumpkin goo. It was a great night! Trick or Treating was fun this year...but in the end it was our Pumpkin Celebration that I enjoyed the most!
