Long time no post....

Well time to play catch-up again. I said I wouldn't wait so long, and I did it again, time has a way of getting away from me...

Anyway I thought I would post some pictures of our Halloween experience this year, I don't think I have any pictures of Thanksgiving or Christmas, how sad :-( but I will post what I can find!

So this was the night before Halloween, Alex and Alanna threw a pumpkin carving party,
I hadn't carved a pumpkin in probably 6 years, I know its sad,
so I was pretty excited to carve once this year.

Jared cut the top off, and oops he cut the hole too small for his hand to fit in it,
somehow I don't think that was a mistake...
so here I am cleaning it out :-)

Here is Alanna, Danny and Zai cleaning out their pumpkins

Here is a view of the carving table, boy I sure have an interesting look on my face,
I'm really getting in there trying to clean out that pumpkin

After all the hard work, here are the designs!!
They really came out good...we all did use templates though,
this wasn't totally free-handed :-)

This is the one I did, classic ghost

Alanna posing with her beautiful pumpkin!

Jared and I posing with our pumpkin,
and showing how my belly sort of looks like a pumpkin :-)

This is Halloween, we all went over to Katie and Jon's apartment, it was a lot of fun, unfortunately I did not get a picture of them, but here is Alex and Alanna

Jared as the basketball player, and me as the basket and little Bennie is a basketball,
I spent the whole morning making this costume from things around the apartment
