Pumpkin Carving

I always think pumpkin carving sounds like so much fun, but then when we actually get to the carving, I remember how gross the whole thing is. Fortunately, Baylie and her daddy think it's great.

This year we invited the missionaries to join us. They were very enthusiastic.

Jalen was mostly excited about the cheesecake that Elder Delai made for us. He ate his, half of Baylie's, parts of mine and then tried to beg some from Elder Thayne. Somehow I missed the shot of his extremely messy face or the one with his pleading look (I have to post a picture of that look sometime because it's hilarious.)

The missionaries loved their pumpkins (you can see Jalen's cheesecake here).

David and Baylie carved their pumpkin. I painted mine. I call it "Ode to Picasso." Jalen was too busy eating to bother with pumpkins.
