Holiday Festivities Begin!

We spent the last week doing holiday prep and having fun with family and friends.  All the decorating was completed, we made a really great dent in the Christmas shopping, and we enjoyed some downtime.  Mom and Dad came down for dinner on Saturday night and surprised me by bringing Grandma too!  They took me out to dinner to celebrate my promotion at work (yay!).  On Sunday we hosted our annual holiday brunch with my swim group friends from when I swam and coached in Chicago.  

Luke is learning how to put all the ornaments on the Advent calendar tree.  He puts up his ornament every day.
It was rainy rather than snowy, so we put on the rain gear to do our Christmas shopping.
Dinner at a cute French Bistro in Highland Park.

Cozy fireside chats admiring the Christmas tree:)  One of my favorite things to do during Christmastime.
Brunch!  Luke enjoyed his visit with Nathan and Ben Sosne.

The ole gang!  Dusko, Valerie, Bryan "Macedawg", me, Luis
