On Christmas day Courtney made abelskievers (a Danish/Jacobsen tradition) that were a smash hit. Courtney continues to try her hand at Charlotte Jacobsen standards, and thus far has succeeded with flying colors. i cant help but be impressed. But this trip was not just about flying (actually driving) south for the winter. While we were there we spent 5 days building houses for families in the Puerto Penasco area. We did this work through the organization Families Helping Families. The organization built 4 houses this year, and we were part of building two of them. It was a great experience, and a fantastic way to take part of the Christmas spirit.
