Meeting the relatives!

Actually it is not my relatives, but my husband's. It is their family reunion. 

The rain pours down and it's getting darker and darker as you can see in the picture.

But off we go although it is one and a half  hour drive from our place. We cannot dissappoint the relatives, can we? 

Long drive, so we can take a look by the wayside. I believe the  plants like the rain:)

                                            The lake is not enticing today!

This place reminds me of a scary film where a ghost suddenly appears on a lake.

But guess who are out in the streets. Two tiny kittens.

My daughter wanted to adopt this one, but her father told her that someone owns that kitten. So off we go again.

At last we arrive at the place where we are going to meet everybody. And when we arrived, the place was already decorated for the reunion.

I like to sit beside the fireplace, but it is not lit today!

Anyway, here is the picture of their forefathers . A wedding picture. Year 1921

 And here we are who dare to be published in my blog. The rest didn't want to be the talk of the town.

In the picture is my youngest daughter, her cousin and your's truly.

And uninvited visitors:)

At last food for our empty stomachs. They served  " sodd". The dish consist of potatoes, meatballs, vegetables and chop meat. Typical Norwegian festive food. One dish only.

Anyway, I took a lot of pictures of  more than one hundred guests, but I dare not to publish them. Don't want to  have a complaint later for publishing without permit.

But I can published the cakes they baked. As you can see in the next pictures. Really mouth watering. Shall we  count them?

Pluss Leche plan and Jelly for dessert. 

As you can see, my husband's relatives are known to bake cakes more than the guests could eat. As much as I tried, I didn't had the chance to taste all of these cakes.

Last, but not the least,  a picture of my daughter's great-great grandma and great- great grandpa and their three daughters. They had three sons who migrated to America that didn't come back. 

And here is my daughter. Fifth generation. Can you see some similarity with her forefathers? 

I don't! Maybe my daughter  has more similarity from my side. My father is half spanish and half filippino.  Anyway, nice meeting my husband's relatives and knowing their history.

How about you? Do you look like your forefathers or some of your relatives?
