Christmas Updates

Unfortunately last week some of our Christmas season plans were waylaid when Brynn came down with a virus. She was to have her first school program last Thursday, but that was the day she became ill. We were all pretty disappointed, and I had been looking forward to seeing her first school performance. She was supposed to sing in church on Sunday, but we decided to let her sleep in and get her rest  instead.

She was feeling a little better Saturday morning for a while and helped Daddy make breakfast. You can kind of see her face looks a little weird in the first two pictures - she developed a rash after her fever broke. 




On Sunday she said she felt well enough to go with me to our friend's house for a girl gathering to bake Christmas goodies.

Helping or just eating?

Both!


Brynn is fully recovered now and did make it to her last program which was tonight. This is her HopeKids asp (after school program) concert.
Singing next to Rosha.

She was supposed to be saying a part in the story of Jesus' birth, but
it looked like there was some confusion or something. After they got that straightened out she said her line.


Brynn and Abby. Abby was one of her preschool teachers and still baby-sits for us sometimes.


After the program they had treats and crafts.


Tasting the final product.


Had to get a pic with Rosha; though I don't know why they had to pose with this sign.

This was a few nights ago. Dana and I were visiting at supper when we looked over and saw Brynn had been busy with her nuggets and mac-n-cheese. Goofball.

Glad you're feeling better Brynn! I wish we could have been at your program this year. I sure had fun last December when we got to spend a few days together and go to your programs and gymnastics!

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...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

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...
