Happy 7th Birthday, Brynn

Happy Birthday to our Brynnie girl! She has been so excited in anticipation for her birthday. She even made a countdown chain and went right away to take down the last link on Friday morning. She received two birthday calls right away, and one even before she was up! 

I showed her the below picture that I posted on Facebook for her birthday, and she said, "aww, cute. I had a lot of hair!" Ha.

It sounded like she had fun celebrating at school and at Hope. She brought cookies to school to share for her birthday treat. 

Brynn's First Birthday

Of course Brynn chose McDonald's as her choice restaurant to eat out for her birthday dinner. Grandpa and Grandma were coming through town, so they met us for supper. Brynn was pretty excited about that.



She also wanted to have a movie night after we went out to eat, so she watched 'Tangled' for a while until bedtime. She opened one of our gifts which was this set of headphones. 




Today was Brynn's friend party. Rosha came over early to play and she helped us make the brownies Brynn requested for the party treat.



This year her theme for the party is the same as her family party which was an art theme. We thought it would be a fun craft for the party to decorate party hats.



Brynn decorated the favor bags for the girls.


There's Suzie, hanging out waiting for the party to start. She's actually fairly under the weather at the moment. :-( Poor babe. She is running a fever and has a cough and what appears to be a general nasty cold.


The girls were all very creative with their hats. It was fun to see what they came up with.

She had a fun time celebrating her birthday with her friends and is now looking forward to her family party next weekend. At the beginning of the day yesterday she didn't quite feel seven yet, but by the time I picked her up at the end of the day, she said she definitely felt seven. ;-)

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...
