The Final Days... Until next year Fall

Well, our first ever "Fall" is technically over now I guess. It is the day after Thanksgiving. The Turkey is sliced and in zip lock bags in the fridge, there are pumpkin baked goods in various states of disrepair in tin foil in the fridge, clean and stacked serving ware is taking up most of the dining room table, news stories of stabbings and arrests are filling the screen courtesy of Walmart crazies, #blackfriday is trending on twitter and its time ... Time to start decorating for Christmas!

Yayah.

Since we are leaving for home next Friday we are staying all weekend at our Texan familys house, to get Christmas started. Cue a few days of holly, glitter, pine scented goods, claymation Christmas movies and the start of my new candy cane diet. I'm sure I will chat about the fun of the next few days in their own post, but for now I wanted to share some of my final pictures from Fall this year. I have had so much fun trying to "find Fall" in Houston, I feel like I have ticked a bunch of things off our US Bucket List, and learned a thing or two in the mean time. My highlights would be our first Halloween, carving my first pumpkin, trying a PSL (my blogging Cliche of choice), learning to make pumpkin bread, getting lost in a maze at a pumpkin patch, and lastly, finding some beautiful Fall leaves on our trip to Europe last week. Fall was fun.
