December 25, 1999

Except for Amy's brother, all members of her family were able to come to the U.P. to celebrate Christmas.

We entertained 22 people in the rec center. We started a fire in the fireplace, turned on some Christmas music and enjoyed a great feast!.

Temps were in the 20's, a pleasant break from the bitter cold weather, and all of the sleds were put to frequent and excellent use!

Just as we were retiring to bed at the end of this very busy day, we lost electrical power! Power was restored about 01:00 in the morning.

All things considered, it was an exceptional day!
