Hicks' Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest
Last night, we hosted our annual pumpkin carving party and contest. We had ten families from the neighborhood attend which was thirty two people in all! Yes, it was a little chaotic, but we all had a great time! Pulling off a party for this many people isn't a small chore....Jeremie worked hard on cleaning and organizing the garage so we had room to carve the pumpkins. Notice in the pics the shelves he made for our "junk." Those of you who know us well, know what our garage usually looks like. He also made carving tables which were really cool and very helpful in carving the pumpkins. Way to go, babe, nice work! I planned the food and activities for the kiddos. There was some serious carving going on! We had rules, a time limit, and awards. Here's the outcome of the night:
Overall Best Pumpkin- Ghost with dry ice- Tom Thomas
A Cut Above- Tiger Woods- Jeremie
Scariest- Mummy- Mark and Traci Thomas
1st Timer- Smiley Face-Collin Bright and Family
Coolest Tools- Tiger Woods- Jeremie
I can't leave out that Jeremie made a very cool flaming pumpkin ahead of time so it wasn't entered into the contest. Thanks to everyone who came and participated in the contest! What a fun night! (Pics have captions)
