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. ;-)

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
