Pumpkin Patch!


Today we started a new tradition -- picking out our fall pumpkins at a local pumpkin patch. I love family traditions! It was a chill 22 degrees last night, so we bundled our little darling up to head out to the orchard and check out some gourds. Fall fashions provided by paternal grandmother (sweet knitted purple sweater) and Angela (rainbow legwarmers) --- both very handy on this fall day!

Her dad helped her pick out her first pumpkin. It was nice and small -- and kind of warty! We love it. (Mostly, we love HER.)


There are several family traditions that our respective families have developed over the years that I want us to keep for our own. My family always opens one gift on Christmas Eve, and it is always new pajamas to wear that evening in preparation for our morning celebration. His family has developed a habit of snacking on various unique and delicious cheeses with yummy fresh bread on Christmas Eve. New PJs and loads of fancy cheese -- what can possibly beat that combo?
