Annual Pumpkin Smash

Every Halloween season that Tanner and I have been married, we have carved pumpkins like no ones business. our first halloween we had over 15 pumpkins big and small carved and not sitting on our front apartment porch- starting the day you can buy them at smiths to the day through as long as they can last- and with our snow they can least easily for weeks and months.

so every year we throw the pumpkin party and invite our coolest friends. in the past they have brought random dates, flavors of the week, or their own spouses. AND THEY LOST EVERY YEAR! it was awesome. Tanner and I were the master above and beyond, but this year everyone got a little wiser and being all married now, I had to brag to their "new half"s in advance that they should prepare for losing. so everyone came decked out with their cutco knives, pumpkin shovels and designs. (except for Jonah, who still got last prize)

It was an awesome night with a snow storm coming in and the guts everywhere. so enjoy the pics! ps. we still won. except for Mike's version of Homer Simpsons was the coolest winner this year. everyone got prizes.







Lacey is married to Mike on the left. and we swear that if lacie and I hadnt married the two men, they would have been life long roommates. Whenever we get together with them, they get all giddy and go do their guy thing. They barely notice their wives :) Its pretty cute.


These are the people that Tanner and I hangout with pretty much all the time. Now that we are all married, we are constantly getting together and partying. Tanner and I have to give excuses just to try and get alone time on our open nights. Its awesome. Tonight is the football game and then we are all playing Rock Band all night!

So which pumpkin is yours? I suppose the losing one is the plain one? What a fun idea. Pumpkins are so expensive this year. Are they up there too?

They are not too expensive. Same as years before. That plain one was scary though because you dont see the mounth until its lit up. Ours was the skull head. It was a lot of fun. Chris (gibb) has decided I get to carve her pumpkins too because no one likes to here but Tan and I love it. :)
