At the conclusion of Mass on Thanksgiving Day, Father Storey told the congregation that all of the fall decorations in the church needed to be removed so the church could be readied for Advent decorations.  Emily seized the moment – and brought home a pumpkin three times the size of her head.

Problem is there’s no real good place to keep it.  So, it’s currently taking up a third of the kitchen bar.

It is nice, though.
