Fall Semester Recap | Holiday Potluck

After classes ended last semester, we held our annual Holiday Potluck at Mitzi Vernon's house. The food was great and the company was even better (not to mention Mitzi's awesome house). It was a nice way to end a jam-packed semester.

Here are some photos from the event...
