Fall is in the air

My family and I just adore fall time! The smells of apple cinnamon, pumpkin baking, fire pits burning, and hot cocoa cooling down on the counter are just some of the wonderful fall aromas. We try to soak up every bit of the fall time as much as possible.
One of our favorite foods to make during this time of year is pumpkin. Whether it be muffins, bread, pancakes, cake, pie..we just love it all! I know it is still not "technically" fall, but in the Tuttle house we are starting out a little early :)So tonight the kids and I went on a pumpkin baking frenzy.
