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.

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!

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...
