Year in Review {Oct, Nov, Dec}

It's the last day of 2015! Where did the year go? 

I've really loved recapping the year--it's been so fun to take a look back at all of the fun things that MG and I did, and prepare for all of the fun that 2016 is sure to offer!

To wrap up the recap, I'll review October, November and December!
