This Halloween i made yummy Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Forsting and eventhough we didn't get dressed up or go to any parties, mostly because we didnt have any to go to, it was still the perfect Halloween. We also ate tons of candy, had a scary movie marathon, ate homemade chili, and went and saw Where the Wild Things are with Dev's younger brother Dallin and miss kaitlin.... all things i really enjoyed :). Hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!

2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, egg whites, water, oil, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon.
3 Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
4 Fill each paper cup about 3/4 full with batter.

6 Prepare frosting by placing cream cheese, butter, sugar and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl.
