Pumpkin Carving Party

Last year was the first year that I decided to host a pumpkin carving party. This past weekend we had our second one and I think this is a tradition that is going to stick around! It is such a perfect fall occasion! We kept things simple with soups, finger foods, and cookies. We had a pumpkin carving contest, painting for the little ones, and a bonfire to end it all. We were blessed with perfect weather and the entire event went perfectly! Lots of fun memories made!
