Pumpkin carving and Halloween Traditions

Part of preparing for Halloween is the much anticipated Pumpkin Carving Party.  This year, we made pizza at home, carved our pumpkins and separated pumpkin seeds for baking.  It always amazes me how much work, time and patience these nights require, but it's all about the memories and always worth it in the end.  Here's some pics from our night. . .
