a Few Thanksgiving Preparations...

My Boys/family's wont be home and grandbabe #1 will be with his Dad soo Daughter Angie and I will be going over to mom and dads for moms home cooking! on thanksgiving. thought I'd get out a few things before the week is over...

my friend Shelly made this pilgrim girl for me...

a few gruley candles... i found one of grandmas (angel) when i moved in and

that started me watching for them here and there...

Jessie sent me a couple snap chats on Sunday...

i sent the lefsa grill with Angie down to Jason and Jess. mom had sent it to us while we were in Japan and we would share the Norwegian must with friends over there, that started a yearly tradition of Mark and the kids making lefsa. (moms recipe)

i was always the photographer so really haven't made it myself in years.. some years were quite interesting.. one time Mark had brought home bakery hats for everyone and had country music on quite loud... thank goodness for memories and now my children are starting some of there own! a lefsa grill will be a must for each of them!

i know Jason called mom to make sure he was doing things right...

Sister Jana doing ok but isn't suppose to really walk til wed.. they have Steve's side Christmas on thanksgiving, so son AJ and Ken were help-en out! Every year sister makes wreath cookies in memory of Steves mom who passed at a young age in her 50s...

it looks like they were having fun and not sure if the flour went into the cookies or on each other!

Enjoy your day! and holiday preparations!          Jody

yesterday sister Jana had foot surgery, so mom and dad went out and sat with her for the afternoon. they actually were in the kitchen but were there if she needed them... she is doing good and is taking her pain pills like the Dr. ordered!
mom/dad made klub, jana and i were actually going to watch her so we could learn  but... i got there just in time to taste! and sister slept thru it...

 moms big challenge was cooking on a gas stove...

sister Jana stay right there in your chair! we will feed you
and give you pain pills!
