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!

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!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
