Pumpkin Acai Bowls with Cranberry Crunch

The Christmas cop has arrived in our house. It happens every year. I get a little excited to break out the snowmen and twinkly lights and heโ€™s all โ€œhonor the birdโ€ and wonโ€™t let me touch the xmas supplies until weโ€™re eating day-after-Thanksgiving sandwiches. Humbug.  Even though I have to hold off on all Christmas…
