Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT)

"A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. THREE are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken."

Christmas 2010

I cannot believe it has been almost one month since we have taken the time to update our blog. Time flies when you are having FUN! Our Christmas season is over and gone but the countless memories live on. Thank you from the depths of our hearts to our family and friends for helping make this Christmas one of our best yet. We spent 9 whole days back in Bismarck over Christmas and New Years' and it was such a welcome break.

We have prepared a slideshow of a few Christmas traditions including creating gingerbread houses, baking and decorating cut-out cookies, Papa's Polar Patch in Bismarck and Christmas Eve at Papa and Grandma Good's. But first, a summary of all the special moments we shared back home in North Dakota over Christmas:
