Pumpkin Carving Party - Halloween 2012

To get into the Halloween spirit, Matt and I decided to have a Pumpkin Carving Party with some of our friends.  It was BYOP (Bring Your Own Pumpkin) and most of our friends hadn't carved a pumpkin since they were little, but for Matt and I, it's always an annual tradition.  We had a feast of snacks, including beer bread, guacamole, salsa, deviled eggs, and veggies and dip.  And of course there were drinks - even a special Halloween Punch that Matt concocted.
Some came in costume, but others didn't.  We had a Conehead, a witch, and Where's Waldo's girlfriend, Wanda.  For those who came costume-less, Matt recruited some more Coneheads :)
After some chatting and snacking, we got started with the pumpkin carving.  Brooke decided to use a pattern for her giant pumpkin, but the rest of use chose to go with freehand designs.
Mostly, we all made a pretty big mess, but of course had fun in the process.  Everyone's pumpkin turned out great!
