Feeling the Cheer

Its no secret that I am a big fan of Christmas and holiday season.  The music, decor, cozy sweaters, giving to those less fortunate, and one simple thing that just gets me in the holiday mood; Starbucks holiday cups!  Quite silly, i know.  But I just get so excited when I get my first red Starbucks cup of the season.

In other news, Thanksgiving is quickly approaching in just a few days.  Naturally I am responsible for dessert.  I braved the rainy streets today and made sure I picked up everything I need.  This year I'll be making the usual favorite, black bottom banana cream pie, and... my first attempt at cheesecake.  Pumpkin cheesecake!
