Grandma Holly's 60th Birthday Celebration

Grandma Holly turned 60 back on February 4th. This past weekend was the first where we were all able to get together to celebrate. On Saturday the girls (minus a napping Clara) went out to get our nails done. Brynn was so excited, but got a little impatient toward the end.

It was so beautiful outside on Saturday. I think Dana got cabin fever sitting in the house while we were getting our nails done because we came home to him washing his sister's car. :-) Christel had to show him some love for that. Ha - I just love this picture.

After a great dinner out at Doolittles, we came back home for angel food cake.

Happy birthday, Grandma Holly!

Next week I will be heading to Anaheim for my first-ever trade show for work. We exhibit at the Natural Products Expo West show in California which coincidentally is right next to Disneyland. If I do even make it to Disney at all, I feel I won't be able to bring anything back for Brynn since she'd be pretty miffed to know that I went there without her. Dana is going to hold down the fort with the girls while I'm gone. Here's hoping I don't get myself lost!

Moocher strikes again. Brynn was the last victim that night.

Clara is talking more and more all the time now. She even hums along with me when I sing to her at bedtime. I love it! She will begin transitioning to the toddler room at daycare beginning on Monday. The transition will take two weeks and then she will be with the toddlers full time. I think she'll definitely miss helping take care of the babies in the infant room, but I do think she'll enjoy more 'older kid' learning activities and role playing/play pretend.

Looks like a great 60th birthday celebration - Happy Birthday Holly!
That Dana - he does love a clean vehicle (wish he lived closer!)
Miss those cutie pie girls. Hope to see you sometime soon.

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.) They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match. Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
