Miscellany & Christmas Celebrations

I hadn't included this pic in our recent Christmas posts, so I will now. Brynn was referred to an orthodontist from her dentist. Her two front permanent teeth are coming in pretty crooked, but I couldn't see how they'd feasibly put braces on her yet as she's only lost four teeth so far. However, I know they are putting braces on kids earlier now, and typically not just the one time, but for two separate stints. So, I braced myself for what the ortho would say (hehe. Bad pun.) They were really great there and explained everything to Brynn and answered all her questions that she came with. That was great because by the time we got to the appointment, she had convinced herself she was getting braces put on that very day, even though I kept telling her we were only going to talk to the doctor. Since she has lost so few teeth at this time the orthodontist recommended waiting 18 months and coming back for a re-check to see where she's at. So, that sounded like a good plan and hopefully she will have lost more teeth by then.

Tuesday night was the last night of the session for gymnastics. Brynn will continue while Clara will pick back up with swimming lessons.

I noticed this popped up on Facebook whilst I was out running errands on Saturday.

After I returned from my errands, we went over to our friends Adria and Amanda's house so the girls could exchange Christmas gifts. Clara and Adria were happy to play together again and ran around the house like holy terrors. They go so wild Brynn got a headache and wanted to go home.

We are busy preparing for Brynn's birthday parties coming up next weekend which had us baking cupcakes on Saturday night. Brynn showed me her cool trick for separating the egg yoke from the whites. Pretty slick!

After Sunday School this morning, we took off for Grandpa and Grandma Obergs' house to celebrate Christmas.

Grandpa and Grandma with almost all the grandkids and great-grandchildren.

The Oberg family is a motorized sports type of bunch and it was so nice out today, so naturally all the kids (big and small) found themselves outside on the four-wheelers.

Clara came back inside to color with Grandpa.

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...
