Christmas 2009

feeble attempt at decorating...

i am going to need to clarify... we have been spoiled over the years with greg, gwens brother... coming out to help us decorate the cookies and spending the holidays with us... this year he will be spending CHRISTmas with gwens folks in north dakota... so they will be getting the master decorator to help with their sugar cookies...

abby did great at filling in the HUGE gap left by greg not being here...

last year greg brought us some tools to help us in times like these... frosting needles... for fine precision...

i even tried to decorate a few... these are some of mine...

at least they taste good...

post #5 from the road...

as i sit here at the laptop for another post... i am amazed at what we have done over the last 13 days... our tripometer is at 3066.7 miles with about 1400 0r so left to go... we leave in the morning for bozeman, montana... our trip home...
greg, gwens brother takes abby for yet another motorcycle ride... this is something all the kids love doing when we come out to mott... to visit grandma and grandpa... abby is wearing a vintage helmet that belonged to her mom when she was a kid...
noah and i rode along...
grandpa on his goldwing ready for another trip around the town...
cole poses by "doc"... he loves the movie cars so this was a real treat...(medora, nd)

mini-golf in medora... i think grandpa won... at least thats what noah says...
grandma and grandpa, greg, and us... at the madora musical, pitchfork fondue... this was a great time....
we had a wonderful time with the grandparents, it always goes to quickly... and visits to north dakota are always a treat... thanks for the great times... they wont be forgotten...
