2009-12-17&18: Visit from Lane S. family plus David D "helping" Penny make lefse

Thursday after work I picked up Chuck & Penny at the airport. They will spend Christmas with us plus visit their daughter, Sara, who is in nurse's training in Rochester, Mn. Friday I took as a vacation day so we could make lefse. A couple days ago Penny's nephew, Lane, called to ask for an overnight stay at our house for he, his wife and baby daughter. I knew how much Penny would enjoy this oportunity to meet her Grand-niece, Hannah (about 3 months old) and parents. We had a grand time enjoying such a little one in the house!



no lack of arms to hold & cuddle baby Hannah!
the happy family
Lane & Hannah
mommie-Christina & Hannah
Penny & Chuck
Lane, Hannah, Christina
Did we wear her out?!!"
So sweet!
That same evening Chuck peeled the 10 lbs of potatoes
Penny and Lane riced the potatoes before the mixture
went into the fridge over night to cool off.

Breakfast time the next am... Lane did not wish to
leave until he got to try a piece of lefse.

Grilling the first pieces.
(My grill didn't work well so Chuck went
to Fleet Farm to purchase a new grill for me.)
Sampling a few!
The grill "Master"!
The "rolling" master--Penny!
her "apple"
little David wanted to roll some lefse..
He wanted to flip the lefse over to roll some more.
He felt he learned how already to flip it...
more rolling..
"I fips it"... to the grill
Again...this is fun!
Clean-up time
being distracted...playing with the flour
'sweeping' up the flour
"Cheese"
We ended up making 52 lefses to enjoy for Christmas. Yummy!
Along with much fun & laughter had by all the helpers.

2009-12-12 : Christmas concert @ Hosanna "A Night of Hope" with the Olson family

When we arrived these two cousins were sitting at a table in the foyer waiting for the
concert to start. They were "reading" the Bible which was laying on the table. They were so excited to walk and see David's Sunday School room down several hallways.. holding hands as they walked (so cute!),,.buddies!!
But when we got to the SS room the door was locked! David was so dejected!
And yet proud to 'show' us his SS room!

The huggin' cousins

There were many muscians plus an adult choir and children's choir.

The whole group presenting

Thank you, Julie & David, for the enjoyable concert!
We also enjoyed seeing David's mother, 2 sisters & niece.

2009-12-4: David 'helping' G-pa with the Christmas tree

We were babysitting our grandson, David, last Friday. It was time to put up our Christmas tree. Doug was getting "help" from David but when G-ma came with the camera guess whose legs are hiding under the tree!
OK, here are the workers..
So busy helping with the lights

those lights get so mixed up quickly
so keep your arms apart!

Enough helping...G-ma 'built' a tent over several chairs
Such fun crawling back and forth!!
the tree with it's lights.
Now the ornaments need to be hung
G-pa & David did an excellent job
