Valentines

We didn't really do anything specific for Valentines Day, but Brynn had a party at school on Friday and Clara exchanged valentines with her buddies as well. 

Daddy had to lower the crib so litlte monkey wouldn't escape. 



Aunt Cindy sent me this idea, and since Clara's room at daycare is so into Minions, I thought it would be fun for her to bring these.


Some of Clara's loot. I loved all the creative gifts!

Clara's valentine art.

I asked Brynn if she wanted to make a specific themed valentines box, but she just wanted to decorate a Kleenex box. She ended up adding a 'sucker holder' which was Minion themed. 




The valentine card Brynn made for me:



Brynn did not want to do traditional valentines with candy this year, so she opted for conversation hearts. Notice the little heart on Blake's box. Looks like he may have been Brynnie's valentine. ;-)



 Brynn had a friend stay for a sleepover on Saturday night. Not sure how much sleep they got, as sleepovers usually go, but at least she was able to sleep in yesterday with no school.


Ready to take my order.


Clara gets really mad if she can't get her baby (or lil penguin) wrapped up just how she wants. And she doesn't want anyone else to do it either. This video illustrates her rage very well. Yes, that penguin did almost hit me in the head and yes she did fall off the chair at the end of the video. In the midst of everything, she also found a crumb which she had to taste. Blech. Crazy Clara!

Aw, Clara just gets cuter and cuter! I was just telling someone the other day what a little mommy she is to her baby dolls. Glad to see Brynn's liking her jammies :) They got some cute valentines!

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...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

Clara's 11th Birthday

Clara celebrated her 11th birthday with a disco themed party with her friends and musical party with family. Happy birthday, Clara Rae! We love you! Brynn baked and decorated Clara's family party cake while Clara decorated the cupcakes she and I baked for her friend party. Dana and Clara turned the back garage into a discotheque and Clara made up a playlist for Dana to use when he was DJing.   I made her birthday baked oats the morning of her birthday. Brynn did an incredible job on the cake! After her own party, Clara was off to another one for her friend Elizabeth.  On Sunday Clara wanted to go to The Olive Garden for her birthday dinner out. They gave her a whole container of mints just for her. Ha.
