We made our annual trip to Dussel Farm to get our pumpkins and enjoy the festivities. We absolutely love going to Dussel and it's really convenient that it's only 10 minutes from us. We gathered up the girls on a Sunday morning and headed out. They were beyond excited to pick out pumpkins this year.
Once we got there we checked out all the new things they had this year!
The girls even got to meet the "infamous" Chief Oliver!
(When I repeated this story to my mom and said the girls met the Chief, she replied an Indian Chief??? Yes mom, an Indian Chief.)
I take these pictures of them by the how tall this year sign.
It's neat to see how much bigger they have gotten over the years.
Of course we can't leave without having our faces painted.
To Morgan's delight they had Hello Kitty.
Later that evening (after the girls begged us all.day.long) we carved our pumpkins. Neither one are huge fans of sticking their hands in the pumpkins. Matter of fact when I told Rylee to do it, she looked at me and said "Ew."
Paul was of course less than thrilled that Morgan picked out the most intricate pattern for her pumpkin. He got over it though after she squealed in delight at the finished product. Pay no attention to the fact that Rylee is wearing no pants. She marches to her own drum.

I would be remiss to let my child's first Halloween go by without forcing her into a pumpkin. I was unsure how this would go since Morgan and Rylee were both 4 and 5 months and therefore much smaller on their first Halloween. I have an almost 11 month old that I had to squeeze into a pumpkin. We bought the biggest, roundest pumpkin they had and hoped for the best. Thankfully it worked and she didn't put up much of a fight.
