Pumpkin carving

It's that time of year again. On of my favorite family traditions is going to a pumpkin farm, picking out that one special pumpkin,  or helping the kids find that one special pumpkin  and then carving and taking pictures . Of course dinner and fun are always included when it come down to it and this year we added a few new friends to the mix but as always there was fun that ensued.
We did things just a tad bit differently thus yrar. Normally we go to the farm south of LOGAN (ZOLLINGER FARM)  but Shannon is taking a class on Saturdays  for recertification of school and so we met at the pumpkin farm in Whitney,  Id... it is a pretty cool farm we walked around for a good 45 minutes and I found not only a pumpkin for me and aaron but also a perfect Turkey pumpkin for my Thanksgiving decorations. We went back to Josh and Jenn ' s house and ser up tables outside for the kids to start carving. Kenn's friend Lacey joined with her kiddos as well. It was fun to watch all of the kids interact. Chelsea and Keelie were crazy and put pumpkin in their hair, which thankfully they showered before setting foot in my car for the ride home. But all in all, it was fun to watch the young and old carve pumpkins.
We had chili and cornbread for dinner with cookies for dessert. The kids worked hard on their pumpkins. Here are some of the pictures.

What do you do when you want to spend quality time with some of the people in your village?  You plan Murder Mystery night of course!  I count Aaron and I very blessed and humbled that we have more village than what we played the game with that night, and I plan to host a couple more murder mysteries to enjoy all ofy village in the near future.  Tonight, we were set in a Manor. I was the wealthy Anthony Westgrove, that is dying of cancer and wanted to gather my family to say goodbye and to let them know I was turning the company over to my illegitimate son Richard, who was the only one that knew I planned to commit suicide after the gathering. We had a Lavish dinner planned of Flat Iron Steak, Marnie's Augrautin potatoes, Jenn's Rolls, Shannon Brock virgin Movktails and I topped it all off with Creme Brulee for dessert. The game company that I got this mystery night from was not as well thought out as How to Host a Murders for sure! The books were inconsistent...

2017- starts off with a bang

We had a New Years Eve  party with some of our close friends! We enjoyed a night of food, fun and entertainment. I wanted to do some minute to win it games to break up just the chit-chat and board games that we play so often when we get together. We played a game where we had to stack dice on a tongue depressor, and a really fun game where we had to carry potatoes between our legs across the room and drop them into a bucket. we got the adults and kids involved. It was such a fun night! As I prepare for the coming year, I hope that We have many, many more nights just like this one!!!
