Our Annual Pumpkin Dinner

Our Annual Pumpkin Dinner was on the Saturday night before Halloween.  And unfortunately it poured starting the night before and all day long.  In fact we got almost 4 inches of rain that weekend. 

So our favorite pumpkin farm was closed due to the rain.  Here is what it looked like:

Pretty grey and rainy.  And the adobe mud around here is like cement when you get it on your shoes.  So hubby and I went to Raley's to pick out pumpkins for the group. 

And how nice was to only pay this price instead of the usual $60-$80 that we usually spend at the pumpkin farm.

Here is the table before everyone arrived for the evening.  And notice the big pumpkin soup tureen in the middle of the table?  That was my splurge this year from Crate and Barrel.  Kendall found it for me and it was too cool to pass up since we have homemade soup every year at our dinner.

Here are the treat jars that I made for everyone this year.  They came out so cute and hold exactly 1 pound of candy... :)  

I also decided at the last minute to make these placemats for the table with my Cricut and Sure Cuts Alot software.  I thought they turned out pretty neat. 

Did you notice the green funny lips at the top of the placemat?  I found 8 different ones and everyone had to wear them for a picture.  We had so much fun with these....

And these were our Adult beverages for the evening.  Really makes you want to have a glass doesn't it??

And the finally the finished product of the night.  They all came out great and yes there were a couple of Giants fans here that night.  Too bad none of these guys made to Halloween night, the weather just didn't help and they only last about 5 days after carving them.

Well I hope you've enjoyed our Pumpkin Dinner as much as we did.  Can't wait for next year!!!

Thanks for stopping by...
