1st Annual Cousin Pumpkin Paint/Carve

Today we had Ryder's cousins over for a pumpkin painting/carving contest. It was fun and I love seeing Ryder interact with his cousins. He loves them so much! 

We started the day off with chili & cornbread and then the painting/carving began! 

Story time. 

Group photo before we began (missing Chris, Ash and baby Grey). Also, Papa (my dad) wasn't feeling well so he was home sick. 

The winning pumpkins and their creators. 

Ryder J gave daddy a standing ovation when he won the carving contest! He literally stood up and clapped! 

The kiddos lined up in front of their pumpkins. 

My sis made these adorable candy corn beanies for the boys. 

Future pumpkin carvers. 

The day ended with homemade pazookis and the lighting of our pumpkins!
