We had our annual pumpkin carving party last Saturday! It is always a neat time to stop and see how the Lord has blessed us with so many wonderful friends. We truly are blessed beyond what we deserve or can imagine! It was amazing to see the difference between this year and two years ago. Two years ago there was only one baby at the party and this year there were 13 children, yes 13 children!! There was a lot of running around and playing but it was so much fun to see all the little mucnkins. We had it outside because there is no way could fit 50 people in our little house but thankfully the weather was beautiful! I guess we should actually call it a fall party instead of a pumpkin carving party because only two people carved pumpkins:) I think because of the number of people and all the little ones everyone wanted to just visit and keep an eye on their kids which was still fun! The menu was creamy pumpkin dip and gingersnaps, chocolate truffle cake, spinach-artichoke dip, hot bacon and swiss dip, cranberry muffins, humus and pita bread and caramel apple dip. The kids menu was peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in many fall shapes, brownies and chips and dip. Many of the recipes were compliments to Holly Muncie! Thanks, Holly--they were fabulous! It is fun for me to have an excuse to get to cook and decorate for something. It took me about 3 days to get it all cooked with the little guy but it sure was fun:)
I posted all the pictures on facebook so check out the website below for more pictures.
