Mere celebrated the quarter century mark on the 18th. Like all December babies, she gets short-shifted in the presents department. This year she struck it rich, receiving a remote car starter from her brother and parents.
She also will be working off those holiday treats on her Wii Fit exercise board.
Shortly before Christmas, Mere and Pam went to Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center where Mere and Firemann carried on their krumkakke-making tradition.
The batter was mixed beforehand.
The finished product
And the proud cooks
That same week, Mere and her cousins Jaylia and Jenna, decorated cookies baked my Grandma Irene.
Soon she'll be off to the Twin Cities for a former roommate, Megan's weddding.
Megan is on the far right in this 2005 photo.
After that wedding, Mere will have a brief respite, then fly to Jamaica for classmate Arin's wedding. No problem, mon.
