Best childhood gift received?
One year, all the siblings received new skis, boots, poles, and a pocket camera. (iPhones weren’t invented yet.)
What traditions have you continued over the years and why?
Taking a Family Christmas photo for the annual holiday greeting card has happened every year of my life. It's a tradition that we have continued with our family. I can honestly say it wasn’t always a fun process, but having these Christmas cards from every year is one of my biggest treasures.
Also, food seems to surround our holiday traditions. Enjoying classic Scandinavian goodies like lefse, kringla, sandbakkels, flatbreads, decorated sugar cookies, and more!
How are you spending the holiday this year?
This year we will be spending family time at home in Colorado; baking, eating, playing games, putting together puzzles, hiking, slowing down, and enjoying family!
Favorite gifts to give?
Matching family pajamas!
