4 X's more Christmas fun

We flew to the Mercado's home on December 17 and left three weeks later. The time went quickly as we had Christmas. Karissa's Birthday, New Years Eve, and Best of all , Karissa's baptism. We skated, traveled to the biggest Christmas store and a delightful German town ,Frankemule?, watched movies, made jewelry, alot of healthy cooking, and Jim had many work projects. He made a wall desk for Victoria, organized the garage, and repaired various house projects. I loved to see how creative the girls are with their dancing, piano, and art work. Austin is a great gamer. Erik went from a none eater and wearing the same thing everyday, to wearing boots and changing his shirt! (mostly because it got very cold. He helped granma tell if her drink was warm or hot> he loves his "hot chocolate" and granma loves her lemon water.
