the lion wondering when he can eat again!

It was a family affair this year. We had a great time at this party carving pumpkins, dipping carmel apples and pretzels, going for a hayride with uncle steve, eating pumpkin cookies from the doughbox (oh yum!), and having grandma spray silly string all over poor aunt Beth's house!

Fall into love





I absolutely love fall! Carving pumpkins, apple cider, soups in the crockpot, leaves changing, and yummy desserts! Fall also gives us one more excuse to go out and buy some cute decor for around the house! Here are two of my favorite fall recipes for you to enjoy!

Topping
