My Thanksgiving break

Hello everyone!  I am back after a nice and long one week break to finish up my last 2 weeks of my first quarter-I can't believe how fast time is going by!  I had a great time back in Ohio visiting family and friends and eating some wonderful food, of course!!  Here are some pictures...

A pre-Thanksgiving feast with Kevin and Nena at Melt (an amazing sandwich place!!)

Nena giving Marley and Jasmine some licks from from her cookie batter

Thanksgiving dinner at my aunt's house... LOTS of food!!

Great Uncle Art and Uncle Dennis-cheers!

Cousins coming to chow down!

One of the 2 tables (g-pa is really excited!)

It was so great to see and chat with my family!  Mark is in our thoughts and prayers and was missed.

After Thanksgiving, I went to see Abby and Johnnie's new house in University Heights (which is amazing!!) then I headed back to Columbus.   Nena and I met up with mom and Frank at LaScala restaurant to listen to the Eddie Pollina Band-they were really good!!  

Here's mom and Frank getting down on the dance floor!

Finally, Nena and I helped mom decorate the house for Christmas-it's officially the season!!

Pretty ornaments!

Marley offering some assistance!

Of course I have a picture with the Jas!!

Bonus pic of Jas!!  Can't help myself!

It is starting to get really cold and windy up here in Michigan, but I guess I knew it was coming.  Brrr...   I have a paper and presentation for my business writing class this Thursday, then 2 finals next week.  Once I finish up the quarter, it is back to Columbus to hang out with family and friends again and get ready for the cruise!!  It will be SO nice to be in a warm climate =)  I hope all of my readers had a great Thanksgiving and are getting in the Christmas spirit!!!
