We try to not make Halloween a big deal with our kids, simply because it doesn't celebrate anything that we believe in or want to exalt. However, we do carve pumpkins with the kids and try to explain to them the symbolism of how yucky we are, like the inside of a pumpkin, and how Christ makes us clean and lets his light shine through us. Below is a picture of the girls carving their pumpkins and you will clearly see the differences in their personalities. It's pretty amusing to me.
Rayna is loving every minute of this.
Taylin, not so much. Daniel and I made Taylin stick her hand in the pumpkin a few times just so she could see how it feels. Her response is pretty plain to see.
The kids then got to dress up and go to one of the church's harvest festivals. Rayna was a Red Dancer, and Taylin was a ballerina.
Tobyn was our little lion! He said "Roarrr" all night long and loved the suckers!

OMG the look on Tay's face does say everything! lol But I do like you idea of the story behind gutting a pumpkin in relation to Jesus. I might have to borrow that one! Great idea Kelly!
