Our Pumpkin

In the last post I told ya'll what a great time we had at the pumpkin patch. Jacob picked out a GREAT pumpkin for us to take home and carve. Saturday afternoon Jacob helped carve his first ever Halloween pumpkin. He loved it!!

finished product

I decided to go with a monogram. I figured from here on out Jacob will want some kind of face or Halloweenish object. I wanted one last year of classy and simple. I love it!!!

of course we had to light it up

I just adore fall

Jacob had a blast. He talks about his pumpkin all the time. He also loves to watch it light up at night and blow the candle out before we go to bed. I just love getting to relive all this fun childhood stuff through him.
