    Pumpkin pie hands down. Oh and our friends mom makes this stuffing with sausage that I could eat my weight in.

    I love decorating for the holidays. I used to spend a whole day decorating the yard for Halloween until our yard got vandalized and around $1000 of stuff was damaged. After that, we just didn't feel like doing it anymore.

    They are. I'm just waiting for November 1 when all the Halloween stuff goes on sale so I can start decorating next year.

  • What are your favorite fall/holiday food/dessert recipes?
    I'm going to try some of those cute little ghosts we saw on that other post about halloween recipes. For Christmas I do homemade fudge every year

    What are you planning on dressing up as/dressing your LO as for Halloween?
    I'm not going to dress up, we've run out of time and nothing fits anyways but DS is the cowardly lion from Oz

    Are you a big holiday decorator? Yes halloween decor starts at our house in september and we go all out since its my fave holiday. Christmas, the big thing is the tree

    What part of "celebrating" the holidays do you miss the most while being pregnant? I actually miss the theme park haunts like horror nights and knott's scary farm :((
  • Let's cover all things FALL!!

    What are your favorite fall/holiday food/dessert recipes?
    I love to make pumpkin muffins with cream cheese filling, and the copy cat version of the Starbucks cranberry bliss bars. I LOVE Thanksgiving sides more than anything ever..I could go back for a million servings pre-pregnancy so we'll see how I do this year.

    What are you planning on dressing up as/dressing your LO as for Halloween?
    I'm not dressing up as anything. My sister bought me 2 halloween themed tshirts so I'll wear one of those on Friday, and the other on Halloween. I'm dressing my two dogs up as unicorns though!

    Are you a big holiday decorator?
    I don't do super elaborate decorations, but I'll dress up our mantle for Christmas, decorate the tree...and H surprised me last year by taking an afternoon and putting lights up on the outside of our house (he's a total Scrooge and hates anything to do with Christmas). I also try to buy a live wreath for our door every year, mostly because the proceeds go towards Wounded Warrior Project.

    What part of "celebrating" the holidays do you miss the most while being pregnant?
    I'm going to miss out on the booze at my in-law's annual Christmas Eve party, but that's probably a good thing. Other than that, I really participate in anything that isn't allowed while pregnant. I do miss cider though. Need to find a good cider mill locally that I can enjoy a non-alcoholic version

  • Hooray for fall!

    What are your favorite fall/holiday food/dessert recipes?
    My stepsister makes a killer creamed corn for Thanksgiving that I am craving in a big way.  I also love roasted root vegetables and pumpkin pie!
    What are you planning on dressing up as/dressing your LO as for Halloween?
    I got a Krang tank top (Ninja Turtles villain with brain that sits in stomach of a mechanical body) and H got Donatello's costume lol.
    Are you a big holiday decorator?
    I am, but I haven't done much for fall / halloween yet.  I put out some pumpkins and some other harvest-y decor this weekend, though.
    What part of "celebrating" the holidays do you miss the most while being pregnant? 
    Not drinking will be somewhat of a bummer.  I also feel like I won't be able to stuff myself like I'll want to at Thanksgiving, because I get full off less these days :(

    I love my tater tot green bean casserole the I only make for thanksgiving.

    What are you planning on dressing up as/dressing your LO as for Halloween? DS1 is going to be a vampire I think.

    Are you a big holiday decorator?
    I decorate for fall and this year DS1 crafted up some a Halloween decorations. Now that he's older I think I will start decorating for holidays.

    What part of "celebrating" the holidays do you miss the most while being pregnant? Definitely the booze. Washington Apple jello shots for Halloween, spiced apple cider, cranberry sangria, etc. I can't really think.of anything else we do I can't do.
  • What are your favorite fall/holiday food/dessert recipes?
    We live far from our family so we usually spend Thanksgiving with our friends and their family, his mom makes the best Chicken gravy with homemade noodles. I seriously can't wait. I'm also a big pumpkin pie person but so far this baby isn't really a fan of pumpkin anything :( 

    What are you planning on dressing up as/dressing your LO as for Halloween?
    DD is going to be a mermaid, we actually made her costume and although it is far from perfect it was not the pinterest fail I thought it would be. I don't really have any plans for dressing up myself. 
    Are you a big holiday decorator?
    Not really a big  holiday decorator but I'd like to start making more of an effort to decorate
    What part of "celebrating" the holidays do you miss the most while being pregnant? 
    Since I have feeling I won't be able to indulge in anything pumpkin related I will miss that and alcohol.
  • @strlitemiss OMG I haven't had a Washington Apple since college. Oh the memories!

    Better than sex pumpkin cake is delicious. I also like Starbucks pumpkin bread.

    What are you planning on dressing up as/dressing your LO as for Halloween?
    Monkies and h a banana.

    Are you a big holiday decorator?
    I have lots and I put out certain things but this year we will only put up our little tree and call it good. Our appt is too small for any of the table/counter etc decorations and we can't really decorate outside

    What part of "celebrating" the holidays do you miss the most while being pregnant?

    Drinking away the annoying people. I don't get drunk I just have a glass or two of wine and it helps block them out
  • @strlitemiss OMG I haven't had a Washington Apple since college. Oh the memories!

    I always have one when we go out for my birthday!
  • Fall is great!!


    Food: So much. I love pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, hot tea, hot chocolate, s'mores around the bonfire, honeycrisp apples, pears, stews and soups, Thanksgiving dinner. Yummmmm...


    I don't usually dress up for Halloween these days, but I'm so excited to have a little one to dress up next year! H loves looking at the costumes in the holiday section at BRU. :)

    We like "classic" decorations. We have a ton of pumpkins and gourds out front, and I may get some fake cobwebs. H talked about someday doing a fake cemetery in the yard with funny epitaphs on the stones. Maybe someday...

    I do wish I could drink or maybe even go out to a party this year, since Halloween is on a Saturday, but I'll enjoy staying in and passing out candy (and having an excuse to eat too much candy).
  • What are your favorite fall/holiday food/dessert recipes?
    Anything you would find in a Thanksgiving dinner, and ALL THE BAKED GOODS.

    What are you planning on dressing up as/dressing your LO as for Halloween?
    I only dress up for work anymore, and our office always does a theme, and my mini dachshund always comes to work that day to participate. This year the theme is Peter Pan so we are all different characters. I will be Mr. Smee with my belly, and my dog, Peanut will be our Tinkerbell.

    Are you a big holiday decorator?
    When I was growing up our house was ALWAYS decorated, but H and I don't have much of a stash accumulated yet. We definitely will when the baby is here so she can have that holiday excitement and memories.

    What part of "celebrating" the holidays do you miss the most while being pregnant? 
    Seasonally themed drinks - pumpkin beer, mulled wine, hot buttered rum, etc. Its so much a part of the holiday coziness for me!

    I dress my dog up too!! She is a shark this year and we are using animal safe paint to make a bite mark on our kitten. (Since they go on walks together and the dog is always chasing her)
  • What are your favorite fall/holiday food/dessert recipes? I love apple things way more than pumpkin spice so I'm all about the apple cider and caramel apples and all of that jazz

    What are you planning on dressing up as/dressing your LO as for Halloween? I'm not planning on dressing up this year because I'm too tired/lazy lol I've always wanted to dress up as Agnes from despicable me so I might do that one year

    Are you a big holiday decorator? I don't go crazy but I do enjoy it. I try and do stuff throughout so you see stuff all over but I try not to do anything too cheap looking. More of a grown up version of decorations. Or Pinterest :)

    What part of "celebrating" the holidays do you miss the most while being pregnant? This may sound bad but I miss the cocktails! My mom and I like to pick a theme and experiment for the holidays and now I can't :(
