Our Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest

"There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots; the other, wings." ~Hodding Carter


Shere Khan, the mighty tiger visits us ~ Ashton didn't only just model his Halloween costume, he knew exactly what his character should do . . . frighten everyone out of his jungle!
Grandma Sandy sewed Halloween Trick or Treat Bags for all the grandchildren
as well as Halloween pillowcases



Ashton and Brett get an early start at their creations.  
Sandy, Ethan, Megan, Cory & Ashton supposedly all hard at work . . . get busy all of you!

Ethan had major knee surgery, replacing his missing ACL and rebuilidng the miniscus.
He couldn't really do much, but gave us lots of sound advice . . .



Our creative contestants: Arianne, James, Brittany, Cory, Ashton, Brett, Tiffany, Charlie, Ethan, Megan, Ray

It is always fun to see the amazing creations that develop from what was once a simple pumpkin!

All participants get a certificate and prizes

What fun! Grace and Grant LOVED their trick-or-treat bags, and their pillowcases are still on their pillows. Thanks so much! Love you!

What a super Grandma. It looks like all had a wonderful time. So sorry to see Ethan laid up. I know that is no fun! Can't wait to see you in a couple weeks.
