Fall Fun!

After living away from the mountains and the fall colors for four years, we are SO glad to be in the midst of all the fall beauty and are thoroughly enjoying it! We are fortunate to live right in the Smokey Mountains because everywhere you look, the bright colors are all around. Here are some pics of what we've been up to this fall!

Apple Festival in Erwin, TN. Emma had a great time riding the train, picking out pumpkins, and getting a blow up Dora! We also all enjoyed home-made donuts. Yum!


I am so glad I have a baby girl to dress in adorable outfits and dressing her in holiday attire is my favorite!  Not to mention her little UT cheerleader dress!


We have enjoyed so much being so close to Dollywood and getting to take Emma there to enjoy all the fun! Dollywood puts on a beautiful Harvest Festival and Emma loved seeing all the pumpkins! We are really looking forward to the four million Christmas lights Dollywood puts up in the next couple weeks!




On October 21st, we went to Mount Mitchell in North Carolina , the place that Will proposed to me on this day 6 years ago. It was so great to get to go back and re-live that moment.  The mountains were absolutely breathtaking from on top of the observation deck and although Emma had no clue the significance, we loved having her there with us!



On our drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, we took Emma's two year pictures.  She had a blast playing in the leaves which made for fantastic pics. It was a very emotional moment for me to watch my baby having so much fun in one the most beautiful settings in the world knowing how much she has grown up and how much I utterly adore her! She is full of personality and Will and I are so incredibly blessed to have her in our lives!
