Pumpkin Carving Party

On Saturday we hosted our annual Pumpkin Carving Party. We had close to 100 people at our house. This party seems to get bigger each year! Here are some of the pumpkins that are gracing the front porch of our home.
As always, I cooked a lot of food. Chili is a staple for this party. There was Casper the Friendly Ghost mild and From the Witches Backside hot. The pot of queso dip was just about licked clean. I made a Kitty Litter Cake that the kids really enjoyed. It did look like the real deal, and believe it or not, tasted really good.
Here is a group having fun around some pumpkins. We got smart this year and rented a large patio heater to keep the garage warm. We were so impressed with how well it worked that we are keeping our eyes open to purchase one.
Here is Shi working on one of her pumpkins.
There were some organized games for the kiddos. The gross-out table was a hit along with the Jello Brains. The little kids had a pinata and the older kids made mummies of themselves. The mummies were a huge hit!
Here is Holly mummifying Shianne.
Lamar even got in on the action. Here are Lamar and Shianne. They were laughing so hard.

It was a great party this year. It is always fun to have a party where the adults and kids argue over who had the most fun. This will be a tough party to top next year.

  1. Looks like fun -- wish we could have made it! The kitty litter cake looks pretty disgusting, but you should take that as a compliment.

  2. Sounds like a grand time. I passed the kitty litter cake recipe on to my home-from-college brother for his party this weekend. So perfectly gross! :)
