Pumpkin Carving with Our Little Pumpkins

2016, celebrations, entertaining, friends, holidays

It’s that time of year where all of us in Southern California pretends that it feels like fall andante our autumn festivities going!  Actually, on the day we held our 2nd Annual Pumpkin Carving Party, it rain just enough to wet the ground, so pretty close to fall weather!  I was working the day of the party, so decided to keep it simple with ready-made dessert and take-out pizza.
