It's the Great Pumpkin

On Tuesday night we had so much fun and started our first Halloween family tradition.  While I was cooking dinner Emerson and Shawn headed to HEB to find the perfect pumpkin to carve.  After dinner we got to work on making the perfect Jack-o-Lantern.  Emerson "drew" the face and scooped out the middle and then Daddy carved it for us.  Braelyn watched from her ExerSaucer for awhile but decided a nap sounded a little bit better to her...maybe next year!  After we got everything cleaned up we watched It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. 

 Daddy and Emerson did some good shopping!  That looks like the perfect pumpkin to me!

 After Em drew the face and the circle around the top...Daddy cut the top out for us.

 Em did so well scooping but said "it's all gross" when it came to getting some out with her hands!

 While Daddy carved, Em and I picked out pumpkin seeds to roast(oops...we never quite got around to roasting them!).

 Shawn bought this great little pumpkin carver that made the job a lot easier.

 Emerson was determined to find every last seed!

Looks great for our very first family pumpkin!
