Xmas in Langdon 2012

Merry Christmas everyone!  I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday.  We had a nice trip to Langdon, although very quick, we enjoyed every minute of it.  Thanks to mom and dad for making Christmas special for all of us, big and small.  It was a white Christmas, but then again, it always in in North Dakota!

I believe this is the old farm.  The garage and a couple grain bins still stand.

We had traditional pizza noodle bake for one meal.  Then we had spare ribs, meatballs and lutefisk the next day.  Good food, mom, thanks!

Oh Chessy!

 Chester is sleeping close to his food bowl.  Watching guard...just in case!!!

I joined a gym!

I'm excited that I joined a gym!  I haven't belonged to one since I lived in St. Anthony, but that's because we purchashed a really nice treadmill, which I love.  I was ready to get back into the gym thing though.  I got my friend Janette to join with me too!  Wish us luck!  I've gone twice and I feel better already.

Build a Bear

 Ashly and Christopher did Build a Bear Workshop.

 Chris made a bear named "Bruce"  and Ashly named her "Alfonso"

 When you step on the pedal it was loud.  Christopher didn't like doing that so he asked sissy to do it and covered his ears.
