Rouladen for All Those Germans (7.12.26)

Steve was a very proud and doting grandpa on July 12, 2026, as he held Emilie's baby, Luke Willardson, at our Sunday dinner.
Emilie and Camille were an equally proud and doting mother and grandma.
Other special guests included Michael Flindt with his look-alike son, Soren.
Michael's daughter, Lily, has a collection of princess dresses that she wears on special occasions, such as Sunday dinner.  Michael says Lily's collection is augmented at the after-Halloween sales!
And it is always a happy day when my brother Scott and his daughter, Liz, are in town, and when Kirsten Flindt has time to stop by, as well!
We had German food for dinner, which was a favorite with most of the guests, for many reasons.  Steve's Ebert grandparents  emigrated from Germany in the early 1900s, and he went on an LDS mission to German-speaking Austria.  Emilie especially treasures her German heritage, from both the Eberts and my Eyring ancestors.  Scott spent his LDS mission in German-speaking Switzerland, and Liz was a missionary in western Germany, as well as having that Eyring blood.  Even Michael and Kirsten have German heritage through their Flindt grandparents, as well as through the Eyrings.  We had lots of German favorites--rouladen, spaezle, rotkohl, sauerkraut, cucumber salad, homemade pretzels, and rutegruten (berry pudding with creme anglaise).
