Fall/winter

Toby got to have a date with his grandparents at Chuck-a-Rama. They said he did great!
Dad sent us this pic of Mom working on Grace's graduation quilt.
It's gonna be awesome!
Grace and her date to the girl-ask-guy dance. His name is Tyler, and the crush is mutual.
She got them these cute matching shirts for the casual dance.
Ready for mac'n'cheese and marshmallows!
Alice had a date with Paul doing some woodworking in the garage. She has a slice from our cherry tree she wants to decorate using a chisel.

Maybe Aunt Whitney can give her some pointers when we go to Texas after Christmas!
Ready for the dance.
They went to bed at half-time during the BYU/Utah game, but made it clear who they were rooting for.
Paul had some very good news for Danny the next morning!
Toby wanted to help with Sunday dinner prep.
Gabrielsen men after the primary program. Toby won't wear a suit, so he wasn't invited to the photo.
But he did earn his lunchable for doing his part at the program - he was so proud!
One of his favorite things recently is playing school. He is Teacher Toby, and is very demanding with all of us students. He read us The Garbage Barge for story time.
Toby likes this rubber kitchen brush, and treats him like another one of the students. 
Charlie's new socks:)
During charades, Grace was trying to act out "water under the bridge". Needless to say, we didn't get it.
They were hot during charades.
Alice was in heaven when Grace let her play with her hair!

BYU brothers.
All so very true, things Toby loves: sausages, my dad, drawing trays, FM, months, spinning the days(?), Emma(?), my home, setting alarms, clocks, my birthday.
Pajama pants triplets.
Snow!


Butternut squashes ready to be roasted for soup.
Sick Toby. He thought he would throw up, but never did.
He did sleep most of the morning though.

Grace, Toby, and Brushy.
Me resting on Grace's bum.
Alice curled my hair for my trip to Provo with Paul.
We loved being able to see Mom Gabe give a speech on her autism research, and accept an award.
Where it all began, in front of the ASB, where we talked and talked after our first date and realized we had more to talk about than just our missions.
Fall colors, mountains, bell tower.
Quick stop at Burgers Supreme.

My kids.
We did karaoke while Toby was on his date. Danny wanted to add a wig to the experience. Who wore it best?


Sunset.
Our kids enthralled by the one magic trick Paul knows. It's a pretty good one.
Danny and Charlie went to the church lawn to play football in the leaves.
Toby took the opportunity to wear Charlie's backpack.
Charlie rototilled the garden for Minecraft time. It took him about an hour of hard work.

It looks great!
Paul and I went on a date and got to see the beautiful decorations at the Grand America hotel.
They have a giant gingerbread house.
So many lights in the courtyard.

Their Christmas windows this year have a yeti theme.


Then dinner at the attached Laurel restaurant. French onion soup.
Mushroom lasagna.
Pumpkin ravioli. Really fun date!
Snow after the temple this morning.
Charlie and Toby played in it.
Lunchtime.
Toby got invited to a birthday party! I stayed with him, and he did pretty great.



Though he did cheat at "pin the horn on the unicorn" - hahaha!
