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.

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...
