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!

~Went up to Philly and visited a couple of pumpkin patches with the fam
~Got my hands on an adorable tunic sweater at Loft Outlets
~Visited our friends in Minnesota and got to see the Vikings win!

~Did the Fall About Me post that was going around blogland

~Made these delicious sriracha teriyaki meatballs (and have made them a bunch since!)

  5. I still can't believe that y'all hosted Thanksgiving for 11 people! I was stressing about Christmas for just 6 people! Your Minnesota trip looked like so much fun, and I know that y'all loved that it wasn't freezing when y'all went this year! Hope that you have a great New Years!
