The major connection my family maintains to our Norwegian heritage is to make lefse at Christmas. The recipe we use is for flour lefse and has been handed down for generations. It is a real treat to have my Aunt Kirstie come with the gear and get it all set up. The kids did a great job helping this year, especially Edison. And my kids had fun with their little cousins.
Lefse Day was then followed by attending the annual Social Studies Christmas Party - this time at Susan and Joe's house. They have a lovely home and are great hosts. The gift exchange was a lot of fun, but I had my elf hat and scarf stolen in the end. I did manage to walk out with the same rechargeable hand warmers I brought - so maybe that was a win? Can't say enough how wonderful it is to work with the best colleagues!
