FAMILY CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION

 This last Saturday was our annual Family Christmas party.  It is mostly our daughter in laws side of the family that live fairly close.

Its always lots of fun and a Norwegian Feast for the tummy.  We were missing some kiddos and cousins this year.  Its difficult to plan a time around everybody's schedule.

We did end up with about 40!  Steve and Sigrid have a big enough place to host the crowd.

This year's shot of the set-up.


Last years from the opposite direction.


Lots of fun catching up on life.


Dave and Sigrid's brother.


Dave and Sigrid's cousin.  She's like a daughter to us too.


Candid's aren't aways flattering but I find these times precious.  Our granddaughter chatting with Dave and her aunt which I didn't get in the photo.


I can't seem to upload the rest of my photos.  My poor computer is dying.
This may be the end of this post.  We shall see what I can figure out.

Yay, I think whatever was the problem is ok for the moment.
We had the crazy gift exchange which really was fun.  As I said before candid  photos sometimes make everyone look bored or all I get was the back of heads.  Its for my memories any hoo...


We did have Santa and the Grinch visit again this year.
Sometimes its a bit raucous, but all in fun.


I'm so grateful for the memories, and thankful for all of the family times together.

Always be Grateful

Always be Kind

Well, what were all the Norwegian goodies there? At first I thought it was at your place. I couldn't fit 40 in my home. It really does look like a wonderful time of family and fun. You and Dave look so happy.
