Talent Show, Wedding and Birthday Party

Friday was the HopeKids After School Program Talent Show. Wow, what a talented group of kids. There was singing, dancing, gymnastics, magic tricks, science experiments, drawings and more. It was so fun. Brynn and her friends Rosha and Lily did a singing and dancing combination to "Let It Go" from the movie Frozen. Here is the video: Talent Show Performance. Brynn was very passionate in her performance, I thought. :-) She did really well. I know they practiced a lot.

Afterward they served root beer floats. Yum!
 


Some recent drawings. Every day she is drawing or writing something. I love to see what she comes up with.

Tinkerbell

I liked this one because she labeled everything she drew. he he.


Dana was an usher in his good friend's wedding this weekend. Brynn had such a good time attending the ceremony, and of course, the dance. She really latched on to another one of Dana's friends who was also an usher. Too bad he's already married. She was pretty sweet on him by the end of the night. Good thing his wife was generous enough to give up so many dances with him to Brynn. :-)

She was excited to find some dandelions to pick outside the church after the ceremony.



Dana with his friends, the other two ushers.

They love each other. :-)

Daddy did get a few dances in with Brynn at least.



Not the greatest pics since they were taken with Dana's cell phone, but here is Brynn with her buddy, Marko, or Marker as she nicknamed him. 

If you can see that tiny blip on his tie, that is one of the dandelions she had picked earlier. She had stuffed them in my purse and dug it out later to give to him. ha.

Our good friend Brenda and me. Her husband, Jared, was best man in our wedding. Brenda is due with their second as well, but is exactly a month ahead of me. I'm hoping that dress is just making me look bigger than I really am. :-)

After dancing all night, we had to get up and head back to Fargo this morning because Brynn would not want to miss Rosha's birthday party! 



Sweet friends. Happy Birthday to Rosha!

January Recap

Right before Christmas break was done, Brynn and  I went downtown to Nichole's for some graduation planning. Making lefse! Clara finished up her time in robotics league with a presentation of the robots and mission that she and her partner/friend, Elizabeth, had been working on. Here's a video compilation of two of the missions they presented. It was so cool. I especially liked the one that picked up the rocks. Some of Brynn's recent drawings. Bedtime snuggles. 💜 I was messaging with Clara's teacher to see if he could let her know that Brynn would pick her up from school one of the very cold days last week. He wrote me back to confirm Clara received the message. I asked Clara when she got home if she wrote that last sentence. Haha. Clara had her first swim meet on Saturday, which was a 'home meet,' hosted by Clara's team, the Red Dragons at Moorhead High School. She was disgruntled about getting up at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning, but each team had specifi...

Clara's Recital + Scouting Event + XaFriendsgiving

I was in full fall mode watching 'When Harry Met Sally" in my turkey leg slippers the other night. Dana and I went out to eat at Granite City on Friday night and I think I found my signature cocktail for Christmas. It's called Snow on the Beach and it was so pretty and tasted really good! Saturday morning Clara had her piano recital and did a great job! Thank you to sister Brynn and the grandparents for coming. After lunch with everyone (family, not the other piano students), she was off to the next thing which was  a Scouting event at NDSU. She had to miss the morning session because of the recital, but in the afternoon they made a tool box. It turned out great. That night we had the XaBeat (the exercise dance class I go to) crew with spouses over for a little XaFriendsgiving. It was super fun. Dana mixing up old fashioneds. There was no shortage of food - it was an amazing spread. Dana smoked a couple turkey breasts that turned out really well and the stuffing sausage bi...

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...
