Happy Easter!

This year we spent Easter with Dana's family. Friday was Dana's birthday, so we celebrated with his parents at their house. Brynn hid his presents, but then helped him search for them. We were so glad to finally have some nice weather to enjoy, and what good timing. I am always bummed if it's icky weather on Easter. I was glad we were able to have the Easter egg hunt outside. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter, too!  Thank you, Holly and Kevin, for a wonderful holiday.


 Thursday night Brynn asked me to take some "Easter" pictures of her and Dad. Dad was on the phone at the time, so Brynn was fine with pictures of just herself. :-)


Brynn finally made it to see the Easter bunny on Friday. I love how she's holding his paw. He he.

Daddy said he would like chocolate melting cake for his birthday treat. Some call  it lava cake since it is gooey in the middle. It lived up to that name as it melted the wax candles. Oops.




Decorating the Easter tree.

Dana and his parents were working in the cabin on Saturday, so Brynn and I hung out down by the beach. The lake is slowly melting!






Gearing up to try one of the eggs she dyed.

She just kind of gnawed on it...and made a mess with it.


Found a basket!



So cute. Isn't that book the truth, Tessa? (wink, wink)

Found another basket.

The Easter Bunny knew Brynn's Grandma works at Adams School. Connections!





No stone left unturned. She thought for sure the Easter Bunny left some eggs along the driveway somewhere. Alas, he had not.

Mouthful of candy. ;-)

Much like Christmas was for Brynn, Easter was hard work!

In other news, this photo chronicles of a right of passage in many girls' lives. I know I did it when I was a kid. Brynn tried to cut herself some bangs. :-)  She has been really into hairstyles and playing with her hair lately. I never thought to tell her not to take it upon herself to cut her own hair. All things considered, it could have turned out much worse.

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...

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...

Clara's 11th Birthday

Clara celebrated her 11th birthday with a disco themed party with her friends and musical party with family. Happy birthday, Clara Rae! We love you! Brynn baked and decorated Clara's family party cake while Clara decorated the cupcakes she and I baked for her friend party. Dana and Clara turned the back garage into a discotheque and Clara made up a playlist for Dana to use when he was DJing.   I made her birthday baked oats the morning of her birthday. Brynn did an incredible job on the cake! After her own party, Clara was off to another one for her friend Elizabeth.  On Sunday Clara wanted to go to The Olive Garden for her birthday dinner out. They gave her a whole container of mints just for her. Ha.
