McShane Family Pumpkin Carving Traditon

For as long as I can remember the McShane family has been carving pumpkins for Halloween. This year Amberly wanted to do them as part of her family home evening. Don't ask me when, but it became a boys vs girls pumpkin contest of sorts. There's never a winner, because they each look great. But we work together as teams and have a great time! It's always fun to see what designs each team will come up with!
This year the boys team actually took one pumpkin and each designed their own faces for the different sides of the pumpkin. It came out great!
Trent and his side of the pumpkin
Eyn with his creationDarin
(yes, that's a bead necklace around his neck. For some crazy reason Amberly had Darin and myself wear long beads during the carving!)

Amberly and I decided to do a two sided pumpkin. One side had a funny face on it and the other was in honor of Elizabeth who is at BYU-Idaho. We missed her help on our pumpkin this year!! (She actually called us while we were working on our pumpkins and let us know that that's what her Family Home Evening group were doing that evening also! They even had caramel apples for dessert like we did!)

Amberly and our cooky pumpkin!
Thanks for the great Family home evening Amberly!!
