Fall is the greatest!

Reasons I Love Fall...
1: THE WEATHER I love the weather in the fall because it is finally starting to cool down. I love the crispness that is in the air on an autumn evening. I love when I can see my breath in the air, but there is no snow under my feet! I love it when the air cools down and I can finally wear....
2: HOODIES are by far my favorite item of clothing! I love it when it is just cold enough that you need a hoodie, but not cold enough where you need a coat too. Hoodies are great for going out in the mountains to look at...
3: LEAVES As you can tell by all of my pictures on this blog, I love leaves! I have dragged several members of my family with me up into the canyon just so that I could take pictures. I love picutres of brightly colored leaves (especially the red ones!), which leads me to...
4: THE COLORS I absolutely love the colors of fall! Reds, Yellows, Oranges.. All of the colors of the leaves. I am really drawn to the deep, rich, warm colors. They make me happy!! I love the color of the ripe...
5: PUMPKINS There is nothing that symbolizes fall more than a pumpkin! I love the pictures of little kids in the pumpkin patches. I love the combination of the bright orange pumkins and the green vines. Pumpkins are especially delicious in...
6: PUMPKIN PIE I love pumpkin pie!! Last year I had to be admitted to the hospital before dessert. One of my requests after Lily was born was for a slice of pumpkin pie. I only eat it during Thanksgiving so I won't ever get sick of it. I love the smell of it! The smell of pumpkins and spice is the "fall smell" for me. I also love to carve pumpkins on...
7: HALLOWEEN which is my favorite holiday! I absolutely love all the little costumes and trick or treating. I love candy corn and haunted houses. I love wandering through corn mazes for hours. And I love that just a few weeks later comes...
8: THANKSGIVING which is my second favorite holiday. I love that the whole family gets together...just to eat! I love turkey... and stuffing... and rolls... and pie... and I could go on and on. I love the feeling of being totally stuffed! I also love around that time when we get...
9: THE FIRST SNOW The first time it snows is always fun and exciting because we have all forgotten how miserable snow really is. When it first comes it is magical and fun! I love that part of snow. Last year during the first snow of the year...
10: LILY WAS BORN While I was in the hospital it snowed for the first time last year. We saw it from the window of our hospital room. The three of us were all snuggled up inside sharing our first few days together. I will always be glad that Lily was born in my favorite season of the year. It just makes the fall even more special for me!!
