Fall....Family....Fun!

I love fall!  The leaves changing color...the crisp, cool autumn air....pumpkins and caramel and apples!  It just makes me want to breathe in a deep refreshing breath!  While pulling out my fall decorations this past week I was inspired to host a fall family breakfast...and surprisingly all but 1 person were able to make it!  (which is really something considering everyone's different work schedules and other family/school obligations!)  On the menu were lots of yummies like bacon-wrapped sausage, maple bacon, homemade apple fritters from the Apple Barn, Pumpkin Waffles (in the traditional shape and in Michey waffle style!) and pumpkin pie french toast.  Not to mention the Apple Barn apple butter, apple cider, pumpkin spice coffee, etc.  The food was so yummy and the family time together was priceless!  I love days like this!

 
My brother-in-law, Matt Wood, suggested that perhaps we didn't have quite enough food lol!


I found the cutest Thanksgiving-themed activity placemats with crayons in the $1 bin at Target for the kids table.  They said "Cool!  It's just like at a restaurant!" 
 

I call my mantle the Pumpkin Patch!
