Easter 2015

Tessa and the kids came up for the day on Friday since there was no school for the Easter holiday. I ended up taking the afternoon off of work which was great. On my way in, though, I already spotted two Easter bunnies. Fat ones! One was still sitting there as I was leaving at noon.



Some pics of Clara that I took Friday afternoon..




She gets her front half of her body pushed up like this and then pushes herself to the sides and backward, but doesn't get up on all fours at the same time yet.





Cousin Reagan and Clara

Reagan was able to spend the night at our house on Friday night since we were headed back to her house for Easter on Saturday. The girls had fun watching a movie together on Friday night. And more movies in the car on the ride to Hurdsfield. As per sleepover usual, I'm sure they didn't get all that much sleep. 

Tessa had an egg hunt all set up by the time we arrived...

Brynn, Auntie and Benjamin made homemade biscuits and gravy for breakfast this morning. So good!

Playing Hot Potato with Grandpa.


Tessa also organized a scavenger hunt for the kids. Such a fun idea. They all got a really big kick out of it. They went through the clues to find the chocolate bunnies in the pantry at the end.
Elise getting ready to read the first clue.

Oh! Who's at the door?

Yay! It's the Easter Bunny. Bless my grandma's heart for dressing up. We love you grandma and so appreciate that you still do it!


I think Benjamin thought maybe the bunny looked familiar, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. He he.



Who's this?

So excited for her first Easter!



My sister hosted another wonderful holiday! Thanks, Tessa and family. Hope everyone had a blessed Easter. Brynn has tomorrow off, so Dana is home with the girls, but I will be back at work.

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
