The asking to the Christmas Dance

Erika came home monday night and informed us that she is going to PHS Christmas Dance on friday, Dec 11th.  We asked her who she was taking, because as far as we knew she didn't have a date.  Apparently, the boy she was going to ask a couple of weeks ago, already had been asked, but it didn't work out, so her friends talked her into asking him (Gregg Allen).  She and her friends stopped at Macey's on her way home from school and bought, Christmas Tree sugar cookies and frosting.  They wrote on the bottom of a paper plate that said "Of all the trees in the forest, I would pick you to go with me to the Christmas Dance".  Then on the back of the plate, Erika signed her name.  Her friends and her drove to his house down center street and almost to the lake.  His family owns the ropes course.  They drove by and saw him out shoveling snow with his brother.  They had to be a little bit sneaky and run up to the door and put the plate inside.  She was in sure a hurray, that she left quite a mess in the kitchen when we all came home from school and work.  It is so fun to see her creativity and to have fun with her friends.
