2007 Brinson House Pumpkins

On Sunday, the Brinson family, including Grandma Carolyn, went to an annual pumpkin carving party at our friends, the Busbees. This year’s event turned into a pumpkin carving contest - exciting the competitive juices of certain Brinsons.

Much to our surprise, Amelia has turned out to be a pumpkin carver extraordinaire, worthy of the Brinson name.

She finished second in the 11-and-under competition. (Disregard the asterisk next to her name, signaling a little help from Dad.) Modesty prevents me from flaunting my first-place finish in the adult category.

Amelia had fun hanging out the big girls as they bobbed for apples and carved pumpkins. She did her best to keep up!

Later that evening, I completed carving my 2007 Halloween pumpkin assortment. If I do say so, they came out rather good this year. Take a look below and let me know what you think...
