Pumpkin Cake

For Thanksgiving i made a pumpkin cake for dessert. It turned out pretty good and i was proud of myself. It tasted like pumpkin and it looked like pumpkin so i will call it a success! =D

The top of the cake

We had a really good Thanksgiving this year. I made Honey Glazed Ham, Mashed Potatoes with Gravy, Green bean Casserole, Pumpkin Cake and some Sweet tea.  Hope everyone else had a good Thanksgiving as well.

Romantic Dinner for Two

 I decided to write Rusty a letter and ask him if he would like to have dinner with me tonight. ( the things we do because of love)  and he said Yes  =D    so i put a blanket on the floor in front of the fire place and cooked spaghetti, salad, garlic bread, lemon bars, and sweet tea. Our first romantic dinner in front of the fire place.



Our dinner for 2 by candle light and fire place.



I made lemon bars for dessert

Pumpkin Time



Making hot cocoa to enjoy while craving! =)



Fall is my second favorite season!  I enjoy the smell of pumpkin pie baking in the oven and hot apple cider.  Fall is a cozy season for me.  I really enjoy being thankful for everything that i have in my life and eatting turkey, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, mash pototoes, pumpkin seeds, and enjoying hot apple cider to top off the night!   I can't want for thanksgiving day to get here.
