For you amateurs out there, BYOP stands for Bring Your Own Pumpkin. We started this tradition last year in our tiny little house. It was packed with 8 people carving pumpkins. This year, I was so excited to be able to invite about 40 people to our new home to carry on the tradition with us. We set up in our unfinished basement which proved to be perfect for carving! We had a total blast. So many people showed up and the first party in our new home was a success. Here's a slideshow of some of the pics.
Just like I did last year, I will now unviel to you our pumpkins. Some of them needed to be photographed in the dark and in the light so that you can see the details. I'll save the winner for last, but if you weren't here, feel free to cast your vote too! I don't know about you, but I was incredibly impressed this year!

Thanks again to the Byrd's. I had a great time. I think I better start planning for next year:0
BTW- I am still waiting for my tickets or at least the movie I think I left over there.
I had such a good time and emjoyed the fun pumpkin carving, delicious eats, and the great people. There were lots of highlights of the night, but seriously... spying on Keith and watching him do his solo 'dance' moves in the basement. I almost peed my pants. Thanks for being great hosts - it was a blast!
Thanks for such a great evening Tiff and Eric! BYOP was a total blast! Cameron and I both had a great time, and I can't wait for next year :) What a great fall activity: pumpkins, beer, friends, beer, laughs, beer, good food and more beer! I love your new home and you both were so gracious to have us over. Loves!!!
