Luke's 2nd Christmas

Whew - the Christmas season sure seemed to sneak up on us this year. As usual, December was filled with lots of activities with friends and family. All of our events were so much fun; too bad December only comes once every twelve months. Some of our December highlights include:

• Tom and Tammy sang in a mass choir Advent concert
• A holiday party at Grandma Eileen's house
• Attending a UP Christmas concert with Kristin and Steve
  
• Spending an afternoon with Meara (one of Tammy's long-time friends who now lives in CA)
• A holiday party with the church choir
• Attending several UP basketball games (our team was looking so promising until we lost to Portland State...rats)
• Making cookies at Kyle's house
• Family get-together for Christmas Eve
• Family get-together for Christmas day
• Evening at the Grotto for the Festival of Lights (with Luke's best friend, Anna, and her parents)
