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.

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
