Ryan really got into carving pumpkin's this year. We went to Michael's and bought some fake pumpkins for Ryan to try out, and ended up buying 11 all together. He spent one week carving one or two pumpkins a night. He couldn't get enough of it. He was just going to carve 4 one for each of us, Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, Cinderella and Snow White, but then he added, a Spider, Bats, Beware with claws, Count Dracula, a Werewolf, a Ghost, and a Cat. They turned out awesome and the cool thing is we can use them next year. Ryan is hoping to add more next year.

Neighborhood Chili Cook-Off, Carnival, Trunk or Treat

Our Neighborhood had a fun Chili Cook-Off and Carnival for the kids. There were tons of fun games for the kids and adults. At the end of the night we ended all the fun with Trunk-or-Treat.

Cook Family Carving Party

Everyone one in Ryan's family came over to our house for alittle Family Halloween party. We had dinner, played games and carved pumpkins. Ryan introduced the fake pumpkins to the group and it was a hit. Everyone's pumpkins turned out great and the kids had fun watching halloween movies with Grandma and Grandpa.
