Clara received a Christmas letter from Grandma Darlene last week which she has been cherishing and reading to herself since it came in the mail. Here she was "reading" it to me again. She says "Mary and Joseph were pregnant" at the end, but I think it sounds like penguin-ant. I was laughing so hard.
On Friday at my office, we capped the week with a soup and salad potluck, ugly sweater contest and voted on the best Christmas decorated office space. I won ugliest sweater! You can't see them in this pic, but I had on my Christmas leggings and I think that's what gave me the edge. :-) Every year when I wear an ugly sweater Brynn and Clara always comment on how pretty it is and Brynn seems shocked that I would call it ugly. Ha.
On Saturday we attended cousin Reagan's 11th birthday party at the YMCA in Fargo where the older kids got to take on the rock climbing wall. It was pretty incredible to watch them!
They had other fun activities too and Brynn challenged Grandpa Kim to game of air hockey.
Happy birthday, Reagan. We love you!
Brynn went to stay with Grandpa and Grandma Dietz at the lake for the weekend and Grandma Holly was staying with us and putting on a second coat of paint upstairs..and then also held down the fort at home so that Dana and I could have a date night. We went to the Tru Blu Social Club which is a fairly new place in West Fargo. It was a really fun time with good drinks and food (popovers!) and live music.
Our enormous popover loaf. It was served with this really yummy honey butter. It was Dana's first introduction to a popover.
This guy was really talented.
On Sunday Brynn sang in church for Christmas. She's that cute little face in the middle of the sea of other kids! I totally spaced on taking any video unfortunately. They sounded great though.
On Sunday afternoon I tried to finish wrapping and the girls finished the gifts for Clara's preschool teachers...our usual, the candy jars!
Clara loooved running that glue gun!
Dad makes a handy chair.
Tonight we made note of what we want to do during Christmas vacation next week. Dana and I will both be home from work and are looking forward to lots of family fun time...probably in between Dana's projects. ;-)
