Christmas 2014


This year we were at Dana's side for Christmas. We had a wonderful holiday and it was extra special since it was Clara's first Christmas.





so excited to get the Elsa dress from Grandpa and Grandma


art supplies!

Clara got two baby dolls!

And a rocking horse.

Brynn carefully selecting cookies for Santa.

Dad photobombing



Wake up, little Suzie. Christmas morning. She likes to sleep on her side.

She is a morning person once she gets up. She is an all-day person actually. She is always happy and smiling.


Dad got a back scratcher from Santa.  


Bath tablets that color the water. Super fun. 
Santa brought Brynn a big sister ornament. I love her reaction. 

It looks as though she has lost her excitement here, but she said she really loved the ornament.

Clara with her Santa gifts.

Grandpa had to head back to work at the power plant Christmas Day, so we went and visited him at work and went bowling afterward.

Lazy bums. Just kidding. Clara snuggled in with us this morning after her first morning feeding.

I love this picture. My girls.

We're home!


Dana, Clara and I are home and Brynn is still with Grandpa and Grandma in Fergus. We will have Christmas with Papa Kevin's side on Sunday, so we'll pick Brynn back up at that time.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Aww so many great pics. Love the one of the two of them smiling together. And Clara all lined up with her presents but she's the greatest gift this year! They both looked so pretty in their dresses. Miss you all.

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
