We spent Christmas Eve with my mom's side of the family. We did our big Norwegian dinner with lots of food that I love/Chris hates. We all wear our Norwegian (itchy - according to Chris) sweaters, read the Christmas story, eat dinner, eat dessert, open a present from Santa that he leaves on the doorstep, and then eat some more dessert. Aren't Norwegians great? Two desserts! Who'd'a thought?
Here's a picture of Chris and I in our sweaters.
During the first dessert, we have bowls of pudding (either rice or chocolate pudding) that we pass around the table as we sing a Christmas carol. When the song ends we eat the pudding in front of us and if you find the hidden almond in your bowl of pudding, you win a prize! Here is a picture of us passing our pudding. Chris was trying to lick each bowl and claim them all so he would win by default...or something?
And here is a picture of me finding the almond!

That looks awesome. Tell Kelli that is the only type of sweater I would wear. Jer.
