Norwegian Lullaby's

Here are the lyrics to the Norwegian Lullaby's my grandma used to sing to me and my children and all the rest of the grand & great-grand children. Jeff sat with her awhile back and she told him all the words and translations to these songs. It is a great memory we all have of her, and that we can pass on to our children & grand children for generations to come!! Thanks Grandma for the wonderful memories.
We love you!!
