Halloween 2012

Well, another great Halloween is in the books! Brynn already was asking when she can go trick-or-treating again. Next Wednesday sounded good to her. Today started out with a pajama party at preschool. When I picked her up they were eating popcorn and watching a movie. I brought her to my office for a little trick-or-treating there. After supper we headed out with Papa Kevin and Grandma Holly to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood. She didn't last really long, as she got chilled a little while into it. She still had so much fun, though, running from house to house. It was hard to keep up with her this year!

We passed out candy to 47 trick-or-treaters. I think she had at least as much fun passing out candy as she did trick-or-treating herself. Her (previous) daycare lady, Nancy, even stopped by with a special Halloween gift for her. What an awesome surprise.

Happy Halloween everyone!

With one of the preschool staff in her teddy pj's for pajama day.

As you may remember, she did allow me an impromptu "Annual Halloween Preview Photo Shoot," however it was the wrong costume! That was Cinderella, and as you can see, she is actually Strawberry Shortcake. While the weather was still somewhat nicer out, I had BEGGED her to let me redo the photos in her actual costume, but to no avail. I could take them on Halloween she said. So, we did. And here they are. :-)







Rodney's house! Rodney is this lady's dog. They always take him for his daily walk right past our house.
So, Brynn waned to make sure to stop by to see him for Halloween.







Waiting for trick-or-treaters.

More treats! "Mmmm, it's so good!"

Grandma and Grandpa!

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...
