It's here...it's here!!! Halloween is FINALLY here!! Thank goodness! I feel like we've been getting ready for weeks & weeks and I've got to put all this candy to rest! All in good fun...
Wes & his special PARTNER, my brother, Brandon will be setting up the yard getting ready for the evening festivities. Of course, that meant first, doing our annual Family Carving Party. We threw on a pot of chili, burned a couple Halloween cd's, and the "boys" went to work on the driveway. Brandon informed us that aside from Christmas and Thanksgiving, carving day was his favorite day of the year & he even turned down opening night tickets to the Spurs game just to join us. You could tell from their giddup last year, that they really get into things!
The pumpkins were carefully selected, Annie, Jack & Sam put in their requests for THEIR OWN special pumpkin to be carved, and the Holland family carving tools were once again brought out for their one night to shine!!
The kids scraped & scooped & pulled out seeds till their heart's content...
Did I mention he REALLY gets into his work???
These were ready to be washed & roasted...YUMMMMMM!
Darkness set in, but with 5 pumpkins to be carved, there was no time to rest!
On to the next...
The finished products...Annie's unicorn!! The stencil that Daddy found didn't quite meet her standards so he freehanded this one! Thumbs up!
Wes' Flame Eyed Jack-o-lantern
Any guesses whose this is??? Yep, Sam is STILL into Batman, even one year later!
Brandon's Jack-o-lantern that he affectionately named...Teddy???????
Jack's Speed Racer in honor of his Speed Racer birthday party next week...he'll be 6!
Almost ready...
Trick or Treat!!!
