Tanner & I spent Christmas in California with his family this year! We packed the car and piled in (the dog included) and made the 10 hour drive from Provo to Redding, CA. A few days after arriving, as part of a long-standing tradition, the entire Nordstrom family drove to the beautiful Lassen National Park and cut down a Christmas tree!

There were lots of wii competitions!

Another tradition is the girls having a "baking night". We all pick our favorite holiday treat to bake and add to Christmas plates to deliver to neighbors and friends. I found a recipe for Oreos and marshmellows (same recipe as rice crispy treats but replace the rice crispy cereal with crushed oreos.) It was not my favorite treat I've made but some others seemed to like it ok. :)

Christmas Eve morning, Dad makes a Danish breakfast called Aebleskivers. YUMMY
After eating WAY too much from our delicious Christmas Eve Danish dinner, dessert is rhys-alamon (rice pudding).
 |
| We had a little mis-hap with the rice pudding. Just bring in the dogs to help clean it up |
Part of the Danish dessert is when the Dane's prepare the rice pudding, ONE single almond is added, then the dessert is divided up and served. Each person is to eat to the bottom of their bowl and the person who finds the almond wins a little prize. Well.... I WON! I found the almond and my prize was a little Christmas bear!
