Pumpkin Pinkberry in Three Stages

Pinkberry, that super-delicious frozen yogurt franchise that originated in West Hollywood, has just introduced a new holiday flavor -- pumpkin -- and they were kind enough to drop off some gratis samples.

CC and I are huge fans of the fro-yo joint, so I was not about to turn down complimentary Pinkberry -- especially the pumpkin-flavored variety that comes with whipped topping, graham crackers and a light dusting of cinnamon.

Here is basically how the whole tasting went down:
