Family Home Evening Halloween Fun!

Last night our Family Home Evening consisted of raking some leaves in our front yard while Emily played in her new blow up gym and then we came inside and carved our pumpkin! It was a fun night. Emily was so excited about having a pumpkin she could hardly stand herself! She was pulling up everywhere to try to get to it! She is such a fun little girl! We love having her in our family, she brings us so much joy!

And you know us Grays, we can't have a fun activity like Pumpkin Carving without busting out our camera for some pictures and last night was no exception! Here are some of the still shots from our adventures last night! Enjoy!

Everyone had a job to do last night....Emily's was to talk to us about what kind of new recipes she was cooking up in the kitchen:)

Mine was to make Chocolate Chip Cookies for dessert! They were quite yummy and since we worked up quite an appetite carving our pumpkin they hit the spot!


And Micah's job was to trace a face and carve out our pumpkin! And he did an excellent job! (I forgot to add that my second job was to gut out the pumpkin...wonder why there are no pictures of that lovely process!)

When Emily saw Daddy carving she had to help out as best as she could!! (Don't get too worried, Daddy jammed that knife into the pumpkin really hard before he brought her over to it!!)

Man, we thought she enjoyed the pumpkin when we first brought it in the house....that was nothing compared to the excitement she had after we were all done and the pumpkin had a face!!

Mommy had to get a picture taken with her cute little pumpkin who now has 5 teeth!!

Our Family shot with the newest addition(although only temporary)!!

Here's a video we got of Emily last night shortly after we brought her inside from raking leaves. She wanted to pull up so bad, but having her snow suit on made it a little more difficult! But in the end, that proved to be NO CHALLENGE for our little "Sweet P"!
