Birthday Celebrations!

Out for her MichaelDonald's meal on her birthday.

Friend Party
On Friday night Brynn celebrated with her friends at our house. She said the theme was a "magic makeover" party, which was the same as last year. I wasn't really sure what she had planned, but they mostly just played after eating supper and opening gifts.

She wanted to dress in her new Brave gown for the party.

Our sad cupcakes. Ha. They tasted good though.

She LOVES doing people's hair and her friends were nice enough to let Brynn do theirs.
This must have been part of the magical makeover. :-)

Family Party
On Saturday we had family over for another birthday celebration. For the past five years I've making making Brynn's cakes....and she actually doesn't even like cake. (Hence the ice cream on Friday night when everyone else was eating cupcakes). So, finally we had enough sense to do an ice cream cake! Perfect. The theme of this party was Peppa Pig.

Working on a pin board frame that you can color/personalize. Today we printed out pictures for her to post on it.

Peeeeeppa pig! OINK!

Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes, attending the party and for the awesome gifts. She got so many nice things. It's so hard to believe another year has gone by already. She has a check-up next Friday, so I'll update again then!

Aw yay! I'm so glad to see the update and the pics (love the one of dad and Brynn as pigs ha). I've been wondering how her celebrations went. Wish we could have been there!

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library. On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
