Family & Pre-Easter

Choo-choo Train

This past weekend my aunt and uncle Shelly and Les came up from SD to visit family in our area. They stayed at a hotel with a pool and invited us over so the girls could swim throughout the weekend. They had so much fun swimming and getting spoiled. :) It was great to hang out with Shelly and Les.

Monkeys!

Saturday we had our cousin Marcie and her husband over with Shel and Les. It was fun listening to old Fessenden stories.

I wish I would have gotten a picture of these two hooligans...Brynn had a friend over to play on Saturday and it was super nice out. Sun, warm temps and no wind. It was perfect. Brynn and Vanessa thought it was so nice they put on swimsuits and were squirting each other with water outside. I was pretty skeptical myself, until I went out there and it actually was almost hot. Then Sunday rolled around and ruined it all. Ha.

My love, Brynnie. You can't see it in this pic, but that tooth is still in there and now it has a wiggly friend next to it.

Right before Clara woke up from her nap on Sunday Brynn filled a bunch of Easter eggs and hid them for Clara to find. It was so cute. They must have been having a dry run for this coming Sunday. ;-)

Clara was supposed to close her eyes while Brynn hid another round of eggs.

hehe...

Playing with the Old Maid cards after school on Monday.

Counting chocolate chips. Oh Clara, she always makes me laugh and has a nonchalant answer for everything. It is a bit long, but my fav part of the video is in the middle when she explains that she needs to eat the chocolate ships due to lack of space on the counter.

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
