Pumpkins!

The second annual Kelsey and Aaron pumpkin carving occurred on Saturday evening. Pumpkins, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin beer, spiked cider, cake, and salsa was enjoyed by all!

The first pumpkin up is the domo-kun pumpkin. I got (or shamelessly stole) the idea from Target.Here are Ashley, Kelsey, and Jake carving out the 'kins.
Kelsey carved out an Obama '08 pumpkin. If you want to do your own, visit yeswecarve.com!
Among other patterns available are the silhouette of Obama, which Christina did. Steve carved the old man pumpkin, probably for the hoodlums to smash!
A partial line-up.
The full line up. Jake did the Pac-Man and ghost pumpkins.
Unfortunately the squirrels are already busy at work destroying the pumpkins. They've been a menace in the backyard this year.

For those of you who enjoyed the cider, the recipe is still at last year's post.
