Need some opinions please

For Christmas Aqeel bought me a jewelry armoire that got lost in transit. We had our money refunded and now I have the chance to get the one I really want. I need some help deciding. I want an armoire that can hold several necklaces and has drawers that I can organize earrings and bracelets. It also has to look cool. Here are the three I have widdled the list down to. Please help me decide on one.

This one has 4 drawers (2 divided and 2 open) and the sides open with hooks for necklaces. I am not sure if the top opens or not.



This one is really pretty. I like all the detail in the wood. It has 2 side open doors with hooks, a flip top and five open drawers some with ring slots.



This one I really like the look of. I am not sure if I like the depth of the drawers. It has a flip top, four drawers (at least one divided), and sides open with necklace hooks.

Almost...

Ayron is only 10 months old and he is already almost walking!!!

Ward Christmas Party

This year Aysia played a shepherd and Amaya an Angel!




Santa was there too, which I kinda have issues with, but the pictures turned out pretty cute!




Jr wouldn"t sit on Santa's lap, but he wouldn't leave without putting in a request.

Finals week!

It's finals week for Aqeel and I. This would normally be a stressful time for me, but because both of my classes are studio classes all of my work has been done. Here are my midterm and final paintings...


My midterm! Here is the pic I used as a sketch for the painting. I stayed pretty true to the pic for this painting.


Here is the painting...


My final. This is the pic I used as a sketch of what I was going to paint...


Here is the painting. I changes the background to read as a wall instead of having the entertainment center there.


Here is a pic of a pot I made in my ceramics class...

Oh Christmas Tree!

The day after we arrived home from our Christmas vacation the Christmas tree and outside lights were immediately put up!!!! Here are some pics...





Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we traveled a lot. We began our vacation on Tues morning driving 3hrs to Boise, Id to see my cousin Dawn's family. Aqeel and I also squeezed in visits to the temple. Wed. we drove another two hours to Burley, ID to spend thanksgiving with my sister Staci's family. Staci is a wonderful cook and we had a great time playing and eating!








Friday we drove 31//3 hrs to Pleasant Grove to visit other one of my cousins and go to Temple Square to see the Christmas lights. We went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse Grill, which was fantastic and ran into a family I grew up with! It was a lot of fun seeing Jessica, Erica, Maren, Terrel, and Leah!!!



Jr, Parker, Amaya, & Aysia!


Jr at his best!
