Sorting through my closet

Today I started sorting through my closet, and going through things to put in a box to put in the attic, and then the other stuff I will take to BYU with me in January. It was really exciting to be doing, but also nostalgic and it kinda made me sad, because I am getting ready for a new stage of life, and things will never be like they are now again.

I just thought I probably deserved its own blog post. Along with the fact that I have housing all figured out! I will be living in Heritage Halls, and it couldn't feel more right (:

I took this picture at the beginning of this expedition, so I you don't really get to see the full mess.

I took this picture towards the end when I was starting to clean up.

Grocery Shopping

While we were on the way to the grocery store, I thought Gabe just looked super cute with Cable's hat on. He has a beanie from Shannon. Due to some miscommunications while getting into the car, mom thought I had it and I thought she had it. So on this cold December day, he was hatless as we headed to the store. Cable let Gabe wear his hat and I just think he looks so adorable... haha

Then I thought, why not get a picture of Cable AND Gabe? So I did.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I really didn't get any pictures except for 1 picture of homemade cinnamon rolls while they were being frosted... haha

The day was great, and Thanksgiving is always a memorable enjoyable holiday. We were able to have a wonderful lunch with fantastic people. Then watch "Miracle on 34th Street."

Tate!

Since it was his Companion's birthday, they were able to go to the Temple! Tate said it was glad he could go to the Temple.

Setting up the Christmas Decorations!

Finally putting up the Christmas decorations.

Mac with the Christmas Lights

Not sure if it's cool? Just taste it!

Happy Birthday Easton!

Today was Easton's 2nd Birthday! It is so crazy to see how big he has gotten. He was way more interested in the birthday activities this year. He liked to wear the birthday hat, and loved to blow out the candles.

Mom made homemade frosting to put on the cake, but after she had poured the frosting, she was sitting the bowl down and it slipped and broke. Glass shards got everywhere! Including.... in a third of the cake. It was sad, there was some mourning (; but what was left was still fantastic.

Happy Birthday to my oldest Nephew (:

The best family shot we could get...
