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.
