This year is our 5th Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest. I was impressed with our carving skills this year. We have clearly improved since we started this little contest back in 2008.
2008: Left: Mine; Right: Eric's....Yikes.....clearly before we discovered the wonderful world of Pumpkin Carving Templates and Pumpkin Carving Tools. Eric like to say he was practicing this year. I won hands down.
2009: Left: Eric's; Right: Mine....He will fight me on this one but according the the facebook votes, I won. He will say that if you add in the votes from people who saw them in person that he won, but I have no documentation of their votes...=)
2010: Left: Mine; Right: Eric's....We both had quality pumpkins that year. I was particularly proud of my cat design, but those fence posts were a pain in the @$$ to cut out. Eric's deer head got lots of votes from our deer hunting enthusiastic friends, but once again again I claimed the facebook vote victory.
2011: Left: Eric's; Right: Mine....Eric finally claimed a victory with his flaming-faced jack-o-lantern. I tried to get creative with the scary tree, but the sections were too thin and it ended up looking like a brain instead.
So which one do you like the best?!
