Fall Festivities!

Autumn is definately my FAVORITE time of year! In fact, I was so excited for this time of year to roll around, that I sent Mike an e-mail describing all the things I wanted to do to celebrate the season. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do everything on my list, but we still had a great time. Here are a few of my autumn highlights:

Driving up the canyon and around town to check out the changing leaves

Watching "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"

(I know, I know, a little childish, but I honestly look forward to this every year)

Making homemade chocolate chip pumpkin bread

Enjoying all the scents of autumn...pumkin, spice, I love them all!

Participating in the Halloween festivities at my work...they really go all out

Having a fabulous time at Ashley and Taylor's Halloween party!

Mike dressed up as Bono (he is not wearing his costume in this picture) and I dressed up as a "wild child". We had a great time at Ashley and Taylor's party...the evening started off at Red Robins and then we went back to their new house to have some fun. We played Curses and had several rounds of Guitar Hero World Tour. There was delicious treats and good times! I am so glad that Ashley decided to make this a tradition!

This shows Mike, Tanner, Taylor, and Kevin playing together. Mike ended up "free styling" on the drums so that he could play them as he would normal drums. Ashley and I loved to watch his intense facial expressions as he got into each song. I think that this experience has motivated him to set-up his drum set at home again.

There were a few things that I didn't get to do, so they are already on the list for next year: going to the Corn Maze, visiting Gardner Village, carving pumpkins...better luck next year!
