Don't You Just Love Halloween?

Rob and I love having people over. 

With our school schedules lately, however, it hasn't been able to happen as much as we would like. 

But Halloween was certainly not something we were going to miss out on.. 

So we decided to throw a Pumpkin Party.

Everything had to be orange.

I made Taco Soup with this herbal bread... It was delicious. 

But you can't have a party without dessert..

And yes, those had to be festive too. 

Of course, you also cannot have a party without guests.. And you cannot have a pumpkin party without pumpkins.

We ate, we talked, we enjoyed each others company, and then the carving began..

And when things get messy, you know everyone enjoyed themselves...

One of my favorite Pumpkins of the night.. The Bennions..

We thought the lipstick was the perfect touch.

And here is our little family... Baby included..

All in all, it was really nice to have people over. 

Makes me miss my family and the loudness and the excitement.. It is just always fun to have big crowds. 

Thank you for sharing in our Pumpkin Evening Shirleys, Smiths, and Bennions.. 

It was fun getting to spend time with you, and your pumpkin carving skills are devine. 

Don't you just love Halloween?
