PUMPKIN WEEK

This is pumpkin week! Plus we had a cute little red-headed guest Fehry today. Kai chose cookies so we found a high rated pumpkin cookie recipe.

We made a double batch (in case you were worried about the volume of butter being added).

Then some pumpkin.

The batter gets a thumbs-up.

Really light and yummy!
