My family started a wonderful tradition three years ago. For the past 3 years we go to my parents house for a Pumpkin Carving Championship. Each family gets to enter a pumpkin or pumpkins for the title of Pumpkin Carving Champion. No one shares what they are going to do...it is a big secret and surprise. The first year there was not a winner because we were all beginners. Last year Pops won with his award winning Veggie Pumpkin.
This year we all got super creative for the title. In fact we all started researching and designing the pumpkins weeks in advance. So without further ado here are the pumpkin carving pictures. See if you can pick the winner.Getting down to business....Pops Starting the Carve
Rachel and Matt were very ambitious with 3 pumpkins
Kevin with a little help from Z getting started
Dad moved over to the counter to be secretive and to have more room.
Our beautiful pumpkin seed makers Aunt Kelli and Jacinda
Kevin and Hil working on our "surprise" pumpkin
Pops & Grammy's pumpkin: I love you to the Moon & Back.* This is sweet. Mom & Dad started saying this to Jason & Jacinda when they were babies. Now they say it to the boys when ever we leave their house. Dad thought it would make a perfect pumpkin.
Rachel & Matt's pumpkins: McCain* Palin trio pumpkins...talk about hard work!
John McCain: Political McCain Palin Slogan & Sarah Palin
Ratatouille by Kevin and Hi

And the winner of the Third Annual Peacock Pumpkin Carve is Ratatouille ....Kevin & Hilary. We won! We are so excited. The best part was we all had a fun time together and a great evening of memories. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with next year!

I LOVE Ratatouille! That was my pick before you announced it. Great job. I never knew pumpkin carving could be that fun or creative. I have never carved a pumpkin in my life. Wouldn't know where to begin.
Did you paint your pumpkin to be a mouse color? How did you get that color? - - - Hurray for the Austin's! Now, you know, though, that the pressure will be on for next year.
