Performances

This past week we enjoyed several holiday performances from the girls. First up was Brynn's piano recital on Saturday right after Reagan's birthday party. She played 'Little Drummer Boy' and did a fantastic job.




Sunday Brynn sang in church. She is surrounded by some of the other kids in our Sunday School class, plus the tall kid in the Vikings jersey over to the left. We have such a great group of kids this year in class; they are always so well-behaved. Daddy took the below pic, but I probably should have taken the camera with me, as I had a front row seat to the action since I led my group up to the front.


Yesterday was the HopeKids daycare and after school program concert. They had the grade schoolers down to the toddlers all up there at the same time, so we saw Brynn and Clara together. Clara had been practicing her songs at home this past weekend. I don't have any good pictures of Brynn as she was in the same position the whole time as you see in the below pic. She was upset because she didn't dress up like some of the other girls did. Clara did great, though! Ha.


I came over to the side so I could see Clara better and take some more pics. She spied me and came running over to me. I thought for sure she wouldn't go back to her spot to sing, but she did and finished out the concert.



Here is the video from their performance.

Thank you to the grandparents for coming to watch the performances! It's always so fun. Tomorrow I go decorate gingerbread houses at Brynn's school, so I'm looking forward to that.

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

 Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library.  On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
