Happy Thanksgiving/First Sunday of Advent

Happy Thanksgiving!  I went home to Ham Lake for the weekend (longest stretch of time spent at home yet this year); it was great to spend time relaxing with family -- we played lots of Mexican train...

...and, of course, ate delicious food!

Some other points of note: Amanda and I took a coffee shop study tour and I saw her dance Clara at the Landmark Center; Marie H. and I played Debussy duets; I got to see other fellow college students also home for the weekend; Katie and I painted our nails. :)

And....happy Advent!  As usual, it was great to be back at COSP for Mass.  This evening I put my VBS tissue-paper candle-covering skills to work on the Advent wreath (who knew that the lessons learned in craft time would turn out to be so practical?).

Come, Lord Jesus!
