Boo-tiful Ideas

Fall is a favorite season because it brings lots of wonderful holidays wrapped in sweet memories of my childhood, the crisp and snappy air, the handiwork of God and amazing blessings such as the births of my two sweet ones and the time to look forward to the world focusing on our Savior and Lord's birth - the greatest gift to mankind!
Fall is a fun time for football(Go Jackets!!), comfort food and fun traditions to carry on and start with my little ones. Here is a childhood tradition with lots of good memories that I look forward to each fall. What fall traditions does your family do each fall?
