Annual U of M Holiday Party – 2023
—
by
Jenn and Michael graciously hosted our annual holiday party with Michigan friends. Every detail was amazing and we’re especially appreciative of Michael’s 21-hour effort on the brisket. Our potluck was a delicious success, even if everyone brought a shrimp dish. Jenn decided the order for our white elephant gift exchange would be by birthday, outing…

by
The holidays are extra special for our U of M friends this year because the football team is 13-0! The calendar was extra challenging this year to get everyone together and some couples already had a full dance card. One surprise was that Theresa and Matt finally completed their decade-long assessment that the Golden Gate…

It’s hard enough to schedule a holiday party and much more so during a pandemic. We skipped it last year, but were determined to get back on track this year. Some regulars decided to leave the country (temporarily) and others had conflicts. Amy and Grady were kind enough to host at their new home. In…

Up until a few weeks ago, there was radio silence on our annual U of M holiday dinner. Thankfully, we were able to lock in a date and the Hoffmans graciously offered to host at their beautiful house. One thing that makes it hard to find a time are those pesky kids and their schedules.…

One of our favorite traditions with our U of M friends continues. Grace and I hosted our annual holiday dinner and gift exchange. Even though I volunteered to cook the main dish, Grace had to hedge with her own. We ended up preparing dueling beef: prime rib vs. beef tenderloin. There were some issues with…

Although we’ve been gathering for years (odd, no football this year), by my count, we’ve been celebrating the holidays together for 7 straight years. This year, the Idemas graciously hosted at their beautiful home. I caught a glimpse of the shimmering new pool, but we won’t be wreaking havoc out there until next year. Although…

This year, the Michigan gang met for dinner at Evvia in Palo Alto for our annual holiday dinner and white elephant gift exchange. Dinner was delightful and the gift exchange was played fast and loose, as usual. Always a great time with old friends.

Michigan Holiday Party at the Burnetts
—
by
Last Friday, Amy and Grady hosted our annual holiday dinner and white elephant gift exchange. Two years ago, it was a smaller gathering and was quite civilized. The rules were clear. The ladies exchanged “nice” gifts and the guys exchanged “fun” gifts. Last year, we had dinner out in the city. Somehow, the Thornes moved…

On Friday, December 6th, the Michigan gang (seven couples in all) gathered for a hopefully annual holiday dinner. We had a private room at Ozumo in San Francisco, which was perfect for our group. Thanks to Jud for organizing the date and the venue. We also kept up with our white elephant gift exchange. There…
