Thanksgiving

One of my family's holiday traditions is to make lefse the week before Thanksgiving. Lefse is a Norwegian flat bread made from potatoes. We all take turns rolling out the dough with rolling pins that have been in our family for years. Then, they are placed on a very hot grill and flipped using special "lefse sticks." It's so exciting to see Ayden participating in a family tradition that means so much to me...and he's really good at it too! :)

We went to my Grandparent's house for Thanksgiving where my grandma had transformed the garage into a dining room so that we could all sit together, rather than having to split up and eat at multiple tables, like we usually do.
What a cutie pie!! This was before Daddy took a little post-dinner snooze!Doing a little bowling on the wii!and a little game of scattergories
On Saturday, we had another great Thanksgiving Dinner at my dad's house with that side of the family...We were so busy eating delicious food and playing games that I didn't take any pictures!

My family likes to sit all at one table too. I really really like it that way!
