Punkin Carvin Partee

Last weekend The Bennion household hosted a Punkin Carvin Partee
Unfortunately, I forgot to grab my camera until the night was over. I am pretty sure my girlfriend Heidi has some pictures from early on in the night. She blogs too, so as soon as they are up I will link over.

This was the end result of the party, 4 hours and six pumpkins later, it was a success!!

This is Jeff’s Pumpkin, REALLY impressive, lots of detail and lots of patience:

This is Jennsen’s Pumpkin. (Okay, Jeff helped) The most impressive thing… this pumpkin is only about 7 inches tall.

This is Addie’s pumpkin. It is modeled after the headless horseman. Now tell me you wouldn’t be scared if this this thing came flying at your head in the middle of the night!!

And finally, my pumpkin. In typical Michelle style, I chose Disney. The wicked queen from Snow White:

Easter this year just beautiful! It was great weather and Addie had so much fun! She and I woke up bright and early and had breakfast. She got dressed in her new Easter dress, and I did her hair in those adorable little pigtails.

We woke up Daddy and headed down to Grams and Grumps house for a late lunch.

While we were there she got a chance to explore the backyard

She saw a bird…

Walked around a little bit…

And found a flower!

After a much needed nap it was off to Grandma Steph’s house for a later dinner and some socializing (I unfortunately didn’t get any pictures at Grandma Stephs house), but Addie always has a blast when she is there!

Grams got her a pink sand pail filled with goldfish crackers, sun dried tomato puffs and Addie’s favorite, yogurt covered rasins. Of course in lieu of the new Easter tradition, Addie got a new pair of shoes and a new outfit as well.

Grandma Steph got her a nice basket lined with bright royal blue fabric filled with goodies for both Addie and Jess and I. Girl Scout Cookies and pink mints for Jess and I, and a new dress and some much needed onsies for the upcoming summer season.

Hooray for Easter!
