Norwegian Family Christmas 2012

Adcock's warm home invites us all for Chirstmas 2012.  There were several nostalgic elements of the Alferness family tradition, such as the playing of old holiday songs that the Alferness kids would listen too with Lester and Iola durning the holidays. We even got to enjoy Uncle Omar's SILVER tree that graced his home as a boy.

Food and drinks included Lemon martinis, a cheese plate appetizer, swedish meatballs, Lefse with lingonberries or sugar & butter, green bean casserole(in Iola's dish), mashed potatoes, rolls, salad, great wine and sparkling cider, bread pudding, and Kringla and Spritz cookies and much needed coffee.

As usual, everyone enjoyed catching up. We especially enjoyed listening to the old Christmas tunes from long ago...

Kaleb got to open his homemade gift from Cousin Erik before sundown. Everyone got to watch Agent Yonemoto complete his "MISSION" and launch the coolest rocket ever into the sky!

Yonemoto kids always love to snuggle up with an Auntie, joke with a cousin or goofy Uncle, play with some classic Adock Boys' toys, or just sip cider and act fancy!
