Fargo Force Game

This weekend we hung around home. It's always nice for us to spend a weekend getting things done and just being at home. Brynn probably sees it more as boring, as she asked if Rosha could come play Saturday afternoon. I'm so grateful she has such a good buddy who can come over and play so frequently. It is pretty funny to overhear some of their conversations. They do use their imaginations quite a bit when playing which is illustrated in this story: 

I was making supper upstairs and the girls were playing doctor down in Brynn's room. Before starting supper, I had already assisted Nurse Brynn with her patient who was having some pain in her mouth. After surgery, she seemed to be doing better. They must have switched roles when Rosha comes hurrying up the stairs to ask for my help because "Brynn is having a baby, and I don't know how to get it out of her!" Ha! So, I scurried downstairs to find Brynn lying in her bed covered with a big blanket and a lump over her belly where her baby doll was underneath her blanket. :-) I think she had a girl, if I remember correctly. Yes, Cinderella, was her name.

Of course Brynn was pretty disappointed when it was time for Rosha to go home, but that evening we went to Brynn's first Fargo Force hockey game. I received complimentary tickets from a local business that I use both personally and professionally. They were great seats which made it all the more fun. Brynn seemed to think it was pretty exciting and wondered why there were no girl players. I told her I think girls do play hockey (in school anyway) and she decided she would like to play and be the goalie. The only disappointment, other than a loss for the Force, was the foul language we heard on a few instances. :-( There are a lot of other families that attend the games, so I wouldn't have readily expected that. I don't think Brynn heard, though, at least. Probably because she was so busy asking a million questions. he he.

We like attending the Force games as well. My first game I complained to an usher about the language being used around us and I am pretty sure the "gentelmen" were asked to leave. :)

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...
