Preference 2011 Landon and Erica

Landon was asked to the Preference Dance 2 months early by a nice girl named Erica Hammond. There were several "anonymous" calls there after asking if he had already been asked. I guess Erica knew better to ask early knowing there were a few others wanting to ask.

Friday they went in a group ice skating and then back to one of the girls houses for pizza, hot chocolate and games.
Saturday they went with the same group to one of the girls houses for a nice dinner and then to the dance.
