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.

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! Photo Cred: Grandma Wanda In a shocking turn of events, most of the kids ended up in ...

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...
