Easter 2016

We had a great Easter celebration this past weekend. I was so elated at how nice the weather was.

Daddy was home with the girls on Good Friday, as Brynn had school off. Brynn has tomorrow off as well, so I am home with them then.

The girls got right to work on Easter projects when we got to Grandpa & Grandma Froemming's house on Friday night.

Brynn's favorite: decorating the Easter tree.

Making photo bunny crafts:





These M&M Pretzel Flowers were super yummy.







Brynn pretty much had a full spa day on Saturday with a foot soak, mani/pedi, hair trim and braids. So, she wanted me to take a 'formal' photo of her. :-) 



Brynn got started on egg dyeing while she was waiting for Clara to wake up from her nap.







Waiting for a snack.




Grandma orchestrated a scavenger hunt for the girls to find their Easter baskets from them.




There they are!




Trying on their coordinating outfits.

The sunrise was beautiful this morning, with fog lying on the field at the farm.

He is risen indeed!

The Easter Bunny was slow delivering his baskets for the girls this morning, so before we left for church, Brynn left him a note and some treats

 He had brought the baskets while we were at church:











The girls with their bunny projects from Friday night. And Clara's belly. :-)



Still busy! Brynn and Grandma sewed a skirt for Brynn this afternoon....




Still more projects! After we got home, Daddy and Brynn started on a picnic table just for the girls. Clara was out helping too and was the ultimate assistant. It turned out great! I can't wait for them to start using it this spring and summer.

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...
