Happy Halloween!

I wouldn't really consider halloween one of my favorite holidays. No particular reason, I just don't get into it all that much. What I do love about this time is the tradition of carving pumpkins and watching Hocus Pocus! And candy. You can't forget the candy.

So what's better than an evening of pumpkin carving with the roommates before they leave for vacation?? Not much. Except they would probably say going to the beach. I guess I can't blame them there. But carving pumpkins with them is pretty dang fun too. 

Casey and I went with a Texas theme, which I'm sure doesn't come as much of a surprise. Joe embraced his love for the RedSox and put it in pumpkin form. 

I was hoping that we could get a Cowboys win to go with my pumpkin, but unfortunately that wasn't in the cards this week. 

Sports and Texas themes seem to be a trend for us, because this was the last time we carved pumpkins together, two years ago!

We also spiced things up a little bit with a delicious hot apple spice cocktail. It was the perfect drink for a chilly night and just screamed fall!

What you need:
Apple cider
1 tsp Cinnamon
1.5 oz Vanilla vodka (or caramel vodka)
Brown sugar
Apple

Directions:

Heat cider and cinnamon.

Add vodka toward the end of heating.

Rim glass with brown sugar and garnish with apple slice.

Enjoy!

Do you have a favorite halloween tradition? I'd love to hear!

XOXO, April
