Happy 3rd Birthday, Clara!

Happy 3rd birthday to Clara Rae! I went into her room to get her up this morning to find her lying in her bed with her eyes open. I told her happy birthday and she so sweetly replied, 'thank you!' She told anyone who would listen at daycare that it was her birthday. She was pretty excited. 

On the girls' birthdays, I like to look back to when they first started out. So little!



We are getting ready to celebrate Clara's birthday with family and friends on Saturday with an 'Angry Birds' movie birthday party, so we got the cupcakes baked last night. Brynn was on egg duty while Clara filled the tins.




Clara was stoked to bring cookies to share with her friends (especially her BFF, Cade, as shown below) at daycare today. In our daycare app, they posted the cutest videos of the kids singing happy birthday to her, but I can't seem to find a way to download the videos from the app like I can the photos.



After Clara's choice of dinner which consisted of hot dogs/brats and mac-n-cheese, we headed out in the rain to Culver's for a birthday treat. Clara really savored hers because I think we were there an hour just waiting for her to finish her little dish of ice cream.




Much to Dana's embarrassment, I made the fam sing happy birthday to her in the restaurant. :-)





So much chocolate everywhere...



Thank you to those who wished her a happy birthday today. 💜

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...

Clara's 11th Birthday

Clara celebrated her 11th birthday with a disco themed party with her friends and musical party with family. Happy birthday, Clara Rae! We love you! Brynn baked and decorated Clara's family party cake while Clara decorated the cupcakes she and I baked for her friend party. Dana and Clara turned the back garage into a discotheque and Clara made up a playlist for Dana to use when he was DJing.   I made her birthday baked oats the morning of her birthday. Brynn did an incredible job on the cake! After her own party, Clara was off to another one for her friend Elizabeth.  On Sunday Clara wanted to go to The Olive Garden for her birthday dinner out. They gave her a whole container of mints just for her. Ha.
