I want to introduce you to my sister in law, Kristine. She is QUEEN of Halloween and if you know her, you love her. She’s hilarious, has a huge heart, and basically is the hostess with the mostess. We love coming to their house because 1) she makes you instantly feel at home and 2) she has the best food. (A lot of recipes you’ll see on here come from her)
We got to visit them last October and my kids didn’t want to leave. Here are my kids and her kids all together. They are not only cousins, but also built in best friends. They can pick up instantly where they left off 6 months ago. Plus, do you see all the cereal lined up on the counter behind them? Yes, she brings out the good stuff when we’re there and they love that too.

So, for the past few weeks, I was watching the leaves begin to change and I kept thinking, “okay, this is nice, but where is the autumn in Virginia that everyone can’t stop talking about?”
Then, last week something amazing happened. I can’t believe what’s around us!
