It's pumpkin time!

I can't believe it. Thanksgiving is just around the corner! I'm pretty excited about this year. My sister came up from her new diggs in DC to spend her first Thanksgiving away from home up in New York with me. It will be nice to spend the day with two of the people I love the most.

Last night I started prepping for the big day and made my pumpkin cheesecake. In the past this has proven to be quite a crowd pleaser. I cheated a little bit this time and made a 9.5 inch cheesecake (instead of the recommended 10) so I could make 2 mini cheesecakes for sister and I to try before hand. Jessie (who has proven to be weary of all things pumpkin in the past) even thought they were great!

Can't wait for Thursday!

Oh, and speaking of pumpkin... how freaking adorable is this card? Extra points because it's made in Brooklyn!

What a wonderful Monday

I am LOVING fall. You are probably sick of hearing me say that, but I am. Everything is just so much more pleasant with a chill in the air and a comfy scarf on! Last night I lit my pumpkin (see iPhone photo above - scary right?), ate one of my delicious pumpkin cookies and sat back with my friend and watched an intense episode of Gossip Girl. I am loving Hilary Duff. She always rocks my world.

PS. Happy Birthday to the most amazing sister. She turns 23 today!
PPS. Remind her she needs to update her blog more. She says Florida is boring, but she has to have something to write about :)
