Friday favorites: it was a happy Halloween!
Happy Friday! I hope you had a safe and happy Halloween. Many of my favorite moments from this week centered on the holiday.
Sunday, we spent the afternoon at a family pumpkin carving/barbecue.
How often do you get to combine those activities in Utah? The weather was beautiful! The jack-o-laterns were–if not beautiful–creative and fun.
This family is serious about their pumpkin carving!
And competitive. They would not accept “they all look great!” Winners had to be selected before dinner would be served.
More Halloween fun. One of my sweet coworkers made these little pretzel ghosts. How cute are they?
This next one has nothing to do with Halloween, but this breakfast looked almost too pretty to eat. Almost! I did pause long enough to snap a picture before digging in.
And I just had to share my pretty fall nails. Meghan is such an artist. How does she paint those tiny freehand pictures?
And finally, this week’s pumpkin tasting: pumpkin pecan cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. It was as good as it looked.
I hope you had a happy Halloween! Now on to Thanksgiving!
What was the highlight of your week?
It is officially confirmed, Christie….Everytime I think of pumpkins, I now think of you!
Love the idea of a ‘pumpkin-carving-family-BBQ’!
It was so much fun, Donna, and absolutely perfect fall weather.
Love this time of year, and there are not enough pumpkins and pumpkin spice to satisfy me!
I couldn’t agree more, Terri.
I cheat with my pumpkins and buy ones you just plug in. Good for you all for all the creativity.
The children and grandchildren were the creative ones. Papa and I observed and “judged.” ?
Halloween is my second favorite holiday (Thanksgiving is my first) and this post is so making me miss the seaon. You’ve inspired me! Next year, no matter where I am, I am committing to get myself a pumpkin to carve! Great nails btw. Glad you had such an awesome week. Hope this coming one is even better!
Thank you Lisa. I’m so fascinated by your life of adventure. I love to travel, but am a little more timid about it. I hope to see more of the world when I retire. In the meantime, I look forward to experiencing it through your photos. I hope wherever you may be on Thanksgiving, you celebrate it in a way that suits you.
