Halloween Pumpkin Faces





We had a farewell party for some of our friends from church. They are moving back to Equador, and we wanted to do something fun for them. We did a Halloween themed activity--decorating pumpkins. We decided to make it funner, and less slimy, by cutting out features from pictures of the branch members and having teams use them to create faces for the pumpkins. It was so much fun!
Everyone really got into it! Gabe helped a group of ladies finish theirs and felt very special. Eli was on a team with Fratello Garcia, and Adam did his own after everyone else was finished (he had been too busy earlier, dressing up as a cowboy to show everyone--he even had me announce him when his outfit was complete and ready for presentation).

Good times.
