Recently, my siblings and I have made it somewhat of a tradition to do pumpkin carvings for Halloween. Over the years, the level of detail and success has definitely progressed. The ideas behind our designs are usually related, or fit some type of theme. For instance in 2008, in honor of the election, we decided to do each of the presidential candidates. Check it out,
here. Then in 2010, my brother did Manny Pacquiao, and I carved Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Lately, however, our designs have been somewhat random. Although, I think it's kinda cool that some people in my neighborhood actually make it a point to come to my house, just to check out our pumpkin carvings! (it warms my heart, hahaha). These are our pumpkins from last year.

With this year's Halloween now over, I just thought I'd post the recent pics of the pumpkins that my siblings and I carved.
Mine was inspired by a recent
Google banner commemorating the 70th birthday of Bob Ross.

Happy little pumpkin! |
My sister actually had the time to carve 2 pumpkins....
And finally, my brother did Al Pacino as Scarface.
Definitely had fun with this. I'm already gathering ideas and looking forward to next year!!
