The first event happened 4 days after Jerry and Barb arrived home and it was the annual Lefsa party. For anyone not knowing what Lefsa is it is mashed potato's mixed with butter and cream and then rolled out with flour and fryed. A lot of lefsa was made and shared with family and friends.
These three pictures is the Lefsa making in progress.
The next event to take place was to start some decorating so the house looks a bit like Christmas
Jerry don't put up all the lights outside like he use to years ago Barb would just as soon as he don't be climbing around on ladders any way.
Jerry and Barb's mothers loved Christmas so the tradition now is to light a candle by their pictures and honor them on Christmas day. Also Jerry's brother loved Christmas so he is included as well.
The third event was to get some shopping done so we have presents under the tree. Ark and Saw was very happy to see Barb and Jerry come back for Christmas and that they got to be in on the big day.
This year Barb did not cook her son Steve volunteered to cook Prime Rib it was delicious. Also he volunteered to have it at their house and in their newly remodeled kitchen very nice and Steve & Holly are very pleased with the improvement.
This is the cooks but it looks like one is having wine and letting Steve do the cooking I think that is a good deal.
We did something different with gift giving this year we did a Secret Santa exchange it was fun and Barb's gift got took by Holly (her daughter - in -law) but Steve her son really encouraged it. The gift was a cutting board that went over the sink and had a vegatable strainer attached. Oh well Barb ended up with a gift card to the Cheescake Factory so it turned out OK. But Barb wil not be forgetting what happen any time soon.
The day after Christmas Jerry and Barb had a little open house for friends and neighbors to come over and have some goodies and drinks. All had a good time and drank a little wine.
