Generation Shots

Mamama, Ma, me, and Jahni

Visiting Relatives

We visited many many relatives including my dad's sister, sister-in-law, neices and nephews (my cousins), my grandma's brothers and sisters (my great aunts and great uncles)- so good to be able to visit everyone.

Lunch in Mangalore

A new hotel opened in Mangalore, Ocean Pearl, so we went to try the hotel restaurant for lunch. Definitely very yummy. Jahni is getting hard to take out to eat. All the flatware ends up on the floor, plates and glassware beware- you may break, and trying to keep her attention is definitely a huge undertaking. Behavior of course, gets thrown out the door.

Anu's Baby

Anuradha, or Anu, our close family friend recently had a baby named Nia. We were lucky enough to get to meet her. Here's us with the new family and a pic of the glowing mom and baby. Congrats also to grandma Chitra and grandpa Ganesh Nayak.

Jahni in Mumbai

Jahni was quick to make friends at the Maumai Domestic Airport with this beautiful little girl. She was so social that she went right up to the girl to hug her and the little girl was a bit scared. So cute!

The Nordstrom Holiday Event

It is no mystery that Nordstrom is my favorite shopping destination and I am an admitted shopping fiend. This was the night of the holiday party at the Cherry Hill, NJ location complete with hot chocolate with fixings- peppermint sticks, marshmellows, whipped cream etc., appetizers, desserts, entertainment, free monogramming and other perks. I tried to get several friends to accompany me with no luck --- too bad Jessica Chan does not live in Philly, but Sunil begrudgingly came along. Surprise, surprise, he actually loved it!

For those who care --- Elizabeth and James blouse, Current Elloitt motocross black jeans and Vince Camuto mauve pumps (that are cut off in the pic)

Weekend in AC

Sunil and I got away for a weekend alone in Atlantic City- or should I say an overight away. We had so much fun visiting the outlets... for once it was Sunil, and not me doing the shopping, with a little spree at a new found store called "G by Guess" (an offshoot, but not the same as Guess). I would say the style is a bit edgier. We ate at a small Mexican resaurant that was not memorable for the food and Sunil, the deal hunter, found us last minute tickets to the Julio Iglesias show at Ceasar's Palace. I was very impressed with our 3rd row seats, but I must say Julio was quite the lothario. We topped off the romantic weekend with a late night bite at Continental AC (one of our favorite Steven Starr Philly eateries) and a hotel room movie-- Easy A- a high school flick that is surprisingly charming and funny. All in all a great way to spend a freezing cold east coast weekend.

In case you care- Robbi and nikki blouse, Gap skinny black pants, and Modern Vintage shoes (pants and shoes not shown)
