My friend Jennifer posted this idea which she saw on Pinterest. I decided that was the perfect fit for our family and we started right away. It was fun to add to the pumpkin each night and our houseguests added theirs too. We can’t save the pumpkin so here is the list in the order it was yelled out to me.
