We had the annual Frost Family Pumpkin Carving on Thursday, October 29th. We had our traditional Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup and Chili in darling pumpkin bread bowls! It is such a fun tradition. We have been doing for at least 25 years and we have the best pictures from every year! Here are some from this year... sorry about all of the collages, but there are way too many pictures!
Here are the people who came... Grandpa Ron and Grandma Carol... Anne and Dave, Dustin, Jesse and his two kids Colby and Brexlin, Jake and Jessica and Westin... Bill and his kids Ryan, Logan and Blake (we missed you Kelly!)... Steve and Rhonda and their kids, Jordon, Kyle, Justin, Colten and Hallie... My family... and Tyler and Kristen and their kids, Ryan and Ryder! We also missed Stacey and the rest of her family (they live in St. George) and we missed Stuart and Rene' and their family! There's always next year! :o)
Ryan drew on his pumpkin face with a permanent marker, so we pretty much carved what he drew the first time. It turned out adorable!
Westin broke his arm the weekend before and couldn't carve a pumpkin. We tried desperately to get him to smile... nothing a little tickling couldn't fix!
Ridge carved his pumpkin all by himself this year! What a relief! He did a great job too! He had soooo much fun designing it and then carving it.
Here is the final tradition for our Pumpkin Carving Night... we line all of the pumpkins up on a wall and light them and then the kids line up for the picture. We have one from every year... I need to scan the old ones in and compare the years. That would be fun!
It has been really hard to keep up some of our family traditions now that our kids are getting older. Some are married with their own kids, some are serving missions, and some have school or work schedules that conflict, but we try to keep up with the traditions, especially the ones that were so close to my Mom's heart. This one was definitely one of her favorites. I know that when we get together that she is extremely happy and proud of us. Love and miss you Mom!

Don't apologize for the collages - I love them! This tradition definitely sounds like it is worth working hard to keep up.
