Sienna & Friends Great Pumpkin Adventure I


Today, Pops and Grandma hosted the inaugural "Sienna & Friends Great Pumpkin Adventure"!  It was so much fun!!!  They really outdid themselves.  We had a sunny, warm October morning to pick and paint pumpkins, decorate cupcakes, play, and eat lots of yummy food.  We love the new tradition!  Thanks to Pops and Grandma for organizing, hosting, and creating a great day for the kiddos and us!

Vivian, Cosette, Stella and Sienna post-pumpkin picking.
They got to pick & hunt for all the gourds and pumpkins
 their baskets could handle.  Huge hit!

Sienna, Grandma & Pops with the pumpkin grown especially for Sienna
 in her pumpkin patch!

Sienna painting her pumpkin.  She LOVED this activity!

All the girls painting and decorating their pumpkins.

Preston and his pumpkin -- he also tasted the paint!

Stella and Sienna focusing intently on their pumpkin painting.

Dave & Susan had pumpkins for the adults to carve, too!

Sweet Vivian and her green pumpkin!  Hello, mini-Brooke!

Sienna and I making her Veggie Head pumpkin!
Susan and Dave had this great idea to use veggies to make a pumpkin face - awesome!

Sienna's bounty of painted pumpkins - a work of art!


"Ring Around the Rosy" with Pops, Cosi & Sienna -
a must anytime Sienna and Pops play!

The whole clan with all our pumpkins!  So much fun!!
(Check out Stella & Vivian's Veggie Head, complete with Twizzler glasses!)

Next, we moved on to decorating cupcakes - huge hit!
My personal favorite decoration?  Candy corn M&Ms!

Sienna decorating her cupcakes, before having a meltdown
when we only let her eat one.  :)

Grandma and Sienna decorating cupcakes - sweet!

Loving her cupcake, well, mostly the icing.

Pops & Sienna being silly -- these two have such a special bond!
