This post just makes me smile! Sidney had an assignment at school to learn more about her ancestors.
Great, right !?!
She needed to do research, make a family tree poster, dress up like her ancestors, and make some kind of food from her heritage to share with everyone.
It was a pretty big project to begin with but...
I decided we should take it up a notch and go back a few more generations....
Sidney still has a Great, Great Grandma that is living, along with Great Grandparents, and Grandparents. So clearly we should include many more generations....and pictures!
So we enlisted the help of Allen's parents, and my Grandpa who are all very good at family history.
We worked....and worked....and worked on that poster!!
Finally it was the night before her presentation and Sidney's bedtime.
She went to bed and Allen and I continued to work, and work, and work on that poster.
And then about midnight we started on the homemade aebleskeiver (danish pancake balls).
We laughed and texted with a few other parents who were doing the same thing in the middle of the night.
The end result was a nice poster, yummy aebleskiver with homemade strawberry jam, and a very cute danish-looking girl with braids who was very excited for her presentation!
Man, WE better get a really good grade on this one!!
