B.Y.O.P. Party

We had a great showing for the Bring Your Own Pumpkin carving party last night. Reddoor graciously hosted the festivities in their office. Those guys sure are great!

We asked the little ladies to sit against the wall expressionless. They performed wonderfully.  

Midway through the evening little miss Siena made the change from a white onesie to an orange one. And, while in make-up, had some kitty whiskers added to spice the party up a little bit. Meow.

Prizes were awarded for best and worst pumpkins. Some carvings worth mentioning: The Holmes team carved the "H" with wings, and won best pumpkin (2nd from left). Dave L stayed loyal to his Adidas brand (far left). Dr. Riggs went with his "go-to frat carving" with the empty Corona bottle (3rd from left). James A executed a nice template skull and cross-bones (7th from left). Nathan carved a very creative hanging bat/scary face (far right). Jeremy won worst pumpkin. See follow-up photos (second from right). 

There was some post voting rioting and Jeremy's pumpkin went up in flames. I have to say he looks pretty composed on the outside, but he must just be burning up on the inside.

The after math was a little less smiley. Rest in peace little guy.

You guys are so creative! I love all of them. But your little kids are my absolute favorite. The way they sat along the wall for you was great (even if there were zero smiles)!
