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.

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...

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...

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...
