After nearly 3 years of waiting our LO was born December 18th 2012!
My favorite fall beverage is apple cider but I'll be foregoing that this year.
We usually go to my parents' house for Halloween because all of my younger cousins come over there to Trick-or-Treat so that's a lot of fun. I think last year we may have stayed home though. We have a party with friends, but it's usually not actually on Halloween. The hosts are PG this year too so that should be fun.
I think Halloween, carving pumpkins, and just being able to play outside more will be fun with a LO. No one thing sticks out in my mind except just being able to play with and love on baby!
I love all the outfits I've seen that have boots with leggings or jeggings and long shirts or wrap sweaters. I've had my eye on a pair of boots for a while...hopefully can convince DH of my dire need of them sometime soon.
I love some of the soup recipes we have. We have all of Giada's cookbooks and one of the recipes she has (pasta fagiol?...sp is wayyy off) is amazing. I made it this week and was in love!
DH is a diehard Peyton Manning fan, so we are now for the Broncos.
DH is dying to be a chef and me be an oven with a bun in it for Halloween. I'm not so sure I want to put forth the effort, but we'll see who wins.
