Fall Festivities!



I love the smell, the colors, the cool, crisp air, and the crackling leaves of Fall. I even love the taste of Fall... I had lunch the other day at a little Italian cafe, Nona Tatas on Magnolia Ave., and chose their pasta with pumpkin, sage, and rosemary. I wish I could give you a bite, you'll feel like fall inside and out.
It is wonderful having family around because pumpkin picking is just not quite as fun unless there are little ones all excited to play in the hay and run through the pumpkin patch!


Laurel invited us to join their fun at the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch. From wagon rides, to corn mazes there was plenty of festive fun.

After our fun at the pumkin patch Laurel surprised me with a birthday celebration at Fuzzy's Taco Shop. It is all it is hyped up to be... sooo good! Of course it isn't MY birthday without icecream too so the party ended with ice cream at Laurels house!
The Fall festivies continue...

Laurel brought the kiddos to enjoy our ward Halloween party with us. The party started with a taco dinner and ended with trick or treating and games in different rooms of the church building. Ben was in charge of decorating and providing a game in one of the rooms; he did a great job playing "Don't Eat Pete!" with the kids.

We rummaged through our next door neighbors halloween costume collection just before the party. We came up with a dead rapper, and a butterfly/ fairy? I wanted to be a roller derby girl or a bowl of candy... stay tuned for next year.

Ahhh...what cute kids :) hehehe

Isn't it a bummer it takes fall so long to arrive in Texas. But we're finally getting some of the cooler temps and changing colors now, and I'm loving it. Thanks for sharing some festivities with us. We're looking forward to Thanksgiving!
p.s. the Mr.T costume was my all-time favorite too!

We didn't even get to go to the pumpkin patch this year and I was bummed. It's so fun to go with kids! :-) Looks like you had a blast. P.S. Your halloween costumes were hilarious.
