Pumpkin Carving Party

TGIWF!!  "What does that mean?" you say?  Thank Goodness It's Waterfowl Festival!  I am so excited to be en route to the Waterfowl Festival in Easton, Maryland and enjoy a bit of a mini-vacay!

Today I'd like to share a Pumpkin Carving Party we had a few weekends ago.

The weather was perfect and time with good friends was fabulous.

I'll let the pictures do most of the talking in this post..

The spread included: Ham Biscuits, Pimiento Cheese, Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes, Butternut Squash Soup, and of course spirits:  Pumpkin Ale & Hard Cider!

My good friend owns The Cupcakery of Richmond and her pumpkin spice cupcakes were to die for!

I loved picking out pumpkins and gourds for the tablescape during our field trip to Ashland Berry Farm earlier that week!

I used this pimiento cheese recipe and it is a new favorite!


Lilly was the most popular guest!

The ladies lounged by the fire while the men worked hard carving...


Soup Break!


Finished!


Extracting pumpkin seeds for roasting is hard work!

Time spent by the fire was the perfect end to the evening.

Have you been to any fall parties or celebrations?

Have a great day!
