Happy Halloween, Here Comes Thanksgiving, and Get Ready for Christmas!

Our October Book Club took place at Joy's home.
In Attendance:
Lauren, Cortney, Jamie, Moana and Joy
This month we talked about two books. Our September book was Amaranth Enchantment by Julie Berry and our October book was I Am Not a Serial Killer by Dan Wells. Both books had great synopsises unfortunately the stories fell a little flat at the twists and turns.

candy corn, cookies, cream cheese & pepper jelly on pita chips,
pumpkin cake & cream cheese frosting, sparkling raspberry punch and
affectionately titled 'Butt Bars' sooooo delicious! see below for recipe
