What a weekend!

I think this was one of the busiest weekends we've had in a long time...or possibly ever! It was a great one, though. On Friday we celebrated with my best friend, Amanda, as she got married here in Fargo. Grandpa Kim and Grandma Laurie also came to the wedding, and of course, Brynn had a great time bustin' a move at the dance. I was a bridesmaid in the wedding, and I heard that she was not pleased that I was up there at the altar without her. When the ceremony was over, she asked why I was with that "other guy," aka the groomsman. :-) 

Amanda bought her a special headband to wear to the wedding.

Waving to me at the head table.

Saturday morning we headed back home to Fessenden to take in the Wells County Fair. It had been years since I had last been there, and we hadn't ever taken Brynn there yet. I used to be in 4-H, so it was pretty nostalgic for me just to go to the fair itself again, but we also went through the animal barns where Tessa and I used to have our own horse, calf and bunnies. We met up with the cousins there, too, and Brynn had fun going on some of the rides with them....and me. She was scared at first to go on some of them, so Mom had to climb on board for one go around. 





The main reason we came back home was for Benjamin's baptism on Sunday. What a special day for him. His godmother, Jenna, is an old family friend and classmate of my sister's. It was great to see her again and celebrate Benjamin's baptism with the rest of the family.

Tara, your photos always are so good and great memories are saved by taking them. You, Amanda and Brynn looked beautiful at the wedding. I'm sure the fair was a hit for Brynn and the Baptism looked wonderful as well.

January Recap

Right before Christmas break was done, Brynn and  I went downtown to Nichole's for some graduation planning. Making lefse! Clara finished up her time in robotics league with a presentation of the robots and mission that she and her partner/friend, Elizabeth, had been working on. Here's a video compilation of two of the missions they presented. It was so cool. I especially liked the one that picked up the rocks. Some of Brynn's recent drawings. Bedtime snuggles. 💜 I was messaging with Clara's teacher to see if he could let her know that Brynn would pick her up from school one of the very cold days last week. He wrote me back to confirm Clara received the message. I asked Clara when she got home if she wrote that last sentence. Haha. Clara had her first swim meet on Saturday, which was a 'home meet,' hosted by Clara's team, the Red Dragons at Moorhead High School. She was disgruntled about getting up at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning, but each team had specifi...

Clara's Recital + Scouting Event + XaFriendsgiving

I was in full fall mode watching 'When Harry Met Sally" in my turkey leg slippers the other night. Dana and I went out to eat at Granite City on Friday night and I think I found my signature cocktail for Christmas. It's called Snow on the Beach and it was so pretty and tasted really good! Saturday morning Clara had her piano recital and did a great job! Thank you to sister Brynn and the grandparents for coming. After lunch with everyone (family, not the other piano students), she was off to the next thing which was  a Scouting event at NDSU. She had to miss the morning session because of the recital, but in the afternoon they made a tool box. It turned out great. That night we had the XaBeat (the exercise dance class I go to) crew with spouses over for a little XaFriendsgiving. It was super fun. Dana mixing up old fashioneds. There was no shortage of food - it was an amazing spread. Dana smoked a couple turkey breasts that turned out really well and the stuffing sausage bi...

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...
