This was our 6th annual Peacock Family Pumpkin Carving. Let me just say that each year gets harder, and harder to come up with an original pumpkin idea. Our family starts thinking about the next years pumpkin as soon as this years event was over. This years competition was the best yet. We have the best time doing this event. As the boys are getting older they are also REALLY into it too.
Here's Pops getting ready to get started on his pumpkin
Aunt Kelli is always one of our judges and she is ALWAYS in charge of the pumpkin seeds. 
The guys working on the designs. You can prep or paint your pumpkin prior to the event but you have to carve it on the night of the carve.
Alot of our friends asked me how we pick the winner. Well, we all get a vote and we have non-biased judges at the event to vote and count the votes. We have a travelling trophy that the winner gets to keep for the entire year in their home. Yes, we are that crazy competitive family. If you win you are very proud to display this year round in your home. This year we also opened up the voting on Face.Book
Pumpkin #1 Bert & Ernie
Pumpkin #2 Eagle
Pumpkin #3 Nemo
These two pumpkins were fantastic and deserved the title!
Nemo came in 2nd place. If you asked my nephew Jerrytt what pumpkin was the winner he would say Nemo and he would tell you that Nemo was HIS pumpkin. Grams & Pops felt like they were the winner because this little boys loved it so much.
In 3rd place was the Nixa Mascot Baldwin the Eagle by the Austin's!
Here's Jerrytt by his pumpkin, Nemo!
And we could not have this fun night without our judges....
Aunt Kelli, Candise, Kaleigh, Jason, and Uncle Kelley
