What do you get with a box full of pom poms, pipe cleaners, foam, felt, yarn, glue, scissors and paint, 4 recipes of Taco Soup, crackers, Carmel popcorn, pumpkin spice cookies, and 5 boxes of Capri Suns.....
THE GREAT PUMPKIN PARTY!
This year a new Anderson family tradition was born. We invited families to come to the park down the street from our house, and bring their own pumpkin. We would supply the food, decorations for decorating the pumpkins, and exciting prizes. What followed was a fun night filled with friends, pumpkins, creativity and memories.
After each family finished decorating their pumpkin, each individual got to vote anonymously for their favorite pumpkin. The winner got to take home a prize. This was a blast and something we will have to do year after year.

You can't go wrong with a little football.
And the Winner Is...the Gambles and their winning Frankenstein Pumpkin.

The decorating begins
Food is always a good idea.
More Friends and their craft.
