Christmas Programs, Holiday Baking and more

Brynn has been busy as usual this Christmas season. She has been helping wrap gifts and these past few days have been busy with Christmas programs, gymnastics, holiday baking and fun grandparent time. 

Saturday Grandma Laurie came and we started off the holiday baking with Krumkaka. (You will notice several wardrobe changes over the course of our two-day baking extravaganza, each one equally as interesting!)

No one would take a normal picture with me.

 Sunday Brynn had her Sunday School program where they sang two songs. Papa Kevin and Grandma Holly were able to come watch her sing again this year, too. There were so many kids up there! She is in a white shrug, middle toward the bottom.

Holiday baking resumed Sunday afternoon.










Monday night was the last night of gymnastics for this session. They will break now and start up again for the next round in January. I always forget when the last day is of each session and thus never have my camera with me, so these are taken with Dana's phone. They go up on this podium block and do their 'ta-da!' and receive a ribbon. Grandma Laurie was able to come watch gymnastics, too.

 


Tuesday night was the Christmas program at preschool. Grandma Laurie decided to stay one more day so she could see Brynn at this program, too. They had been practicing their songs hard each day! The girl to the left of Brynn is her gymnastics friend, Hailey.

She lives near us and she and Brynn  meet up to play in the park a lot during the warmer times of year.

After the singing portion, we went and made a wreath craft together and they got to decorate cookies.

The little girl is Rosha and the other lady on the far right is Rosha's mom.

 After the program at preschool, we headed over to the mall for supper and so Brynn could visit Santa. She had quite the conversation with him, of course. She told him she wanted an ornament for Christmas. Then on our way out of the mall, we had to stop at the Salvation Army kettle and make our donation, and Brynn even got to ring the bell for a minute.

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.)   They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

 The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match.  Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...
