Last night, Rich and I hosted our "1st Annual Meyer Pumpkin Carving and Oktoberfest Party"!!!!

A little BRAT preparation by Rich...boiling them in Autumn Beer!

No Guts, No Glory!
This was a high class carving festival....
we all went for HARD pumpkin decorations!
Here I am with Kelby and Rich...deep in carving!
Getting all the guts out....
Clay had a little pumpkin...but by far the most guts on the table!
Do all pumpkins have the same amount of seeds, whether large or small?
Ryan...focusing on a higher power to get some good vibes!
Kelby working on her "Mr. Gaucho" Man-Pumpkin!
Rich "digging" the guts out!
And, of course, Kain playing with the Stuffed Pumpkin!!!
Clay was the first carver done...and look how cute his turned out.
Next up, was Kelby and Mr. Gaucho!
Nice 'stasch Kelb!
The FINAL product....
Kelby's, Ryan's, Stacie's and Rich's Pumpkins!!!!
