My Mom's Pumpkin Bread

This is the pumpkin bread that I grew up with. It is very nice and sweet with alot of pumpkin flavor, and spice, and most importantly it is moist, This is a large recipe so you'll be able to keep a loaf for yourself and share with friends. I'm not sure of the origin of this recipe. So I'll just say it's from my mom.
