Fall Festivities and FOOD!

My new fav PSL... Can you believe this year McDonalds jumped on the PSL bandwagon?!? It's 1/2 the price, and has a wonderful cinnamon pumpkin flavor... not to mention the drive-thru line is so much shorter in the morning.  I've splurged and had a whopping 3 this year, due to being pregnant and all.

We celebrated Mike's 34th Birthday by having pizza, wings and watching Falcons football




Couldn't miss the Norcross Arts Festival,in my GA hometown of Norcross 
 I had my 1st Fried Oreo... AMAZING


For sister's Birthday we headed to the mountains for the Apple Festival in Ellijay GA

My 1st Pickle on a Stick!

My 1st Elephant Ear!
