Pumpkin Bread

Happy Halloween!!!

I hope everyone has a great holiday! I can't wait to hand out candy to all the little kiddies for the first time in the new house. I hope there are some original costumes this year. I love the princesses and superheroes and witches...but I'd looove to see someone dressed up as Lady Gaga. Or a Minion from Despicable Me! You know those little yellow things? That would be the best!

Anyways, hope you all stay safe and enjoy the holiday. Oh, and maybe enjoy some delicious pumpkin bread while you're at it :)
