We had some great (premade) templates with really intricate details- maybe that explains the intense looks of concentration on our faces!
Obviously all the carving left a lot of pumpkin flesh and seeds going spare :( ....
...but in a truly creative spirit Jenny and Carly whipped up some delicious pumpkin soup and also roasted the pumpkin seeds, making some yummy snacks to keep us going.
After all our hard work, we sat back and watched our creations glow! (and then took proud photos of us and our babies!)
