Oh, Pumpkin!

Here’s some pictures of  Alivia’s first ever pumpkin carving experience! Delightful, messy, and a sweet experience. She thought it was gross, yet she insisted (scratch that, we insisted) in partaking in the pumpkin carving madness. Really she just pulled the goo out and pushed faces in her pumpkin, like Mr. Potato head. She’ll have to wait to actually carve her pumpkin in the years to come. Traditions in the making!

Gearing up for pumpkin love with her pumpkin bib!                  Ben working his magic!                               Dad trying to figure out what he wants to make!(Please excuse the mess in the background)    Whoa, the lid comes off! :)     My dad really disliked this part!     She doesn’t know what to think of the mush.          Doing it on her own, but still saying “yuck”.         "What’s on my hands? Napkin!!”    Putting her face on Mr. Pumpkin Head!      Alivia and her pumpkin!          Nolan and me just working away on our pumpkin.Nolan slept through the whole thing!Alivia and the finished products!    Alivia also loved this little pumpkin that papa bought for her at the store. She put it in our basket and didn’t want to leave it at the store. She played with it for days before it went all mushy, and I had to throw it away during one of her naptimes.

Have I mentioned that I love fall!! Well, I heart this time of the year and all the festivities.
