Froemmings

Happy 6th birthday to Benjamin! We celebrated with him at his Ninjago-themed party on Sunday. Clara cajoled auntie into some Curious George reading. This is a popular chair...or movie. Ben challenged Uncle Dana to a game of checkers. I think the game was scrapped once Ben felt Dana was too far ahead. ;-) So sweet. Birthday boy! We stocked up on some snacks on our way out of Fargo and Clara chose fruit snacks. I teased her that she should save some to share with "Fruit Snack Grandma," as she's known, and give her some for a change! She said she would and when she saw Grandma, she remembered right away and got out her fruit snacks to share. Reagan telling a tale. :-) This time Clara talked Grandpa into a book. Clara's painted self-portrait. She said she was painting herself  "all blonde." :-) It was pretty nice and warm outside today and I had asked Clara a few days ago to help shovel off the deck. So,

Last weekend we attended a wedding for one of our family friends in Fergus. The top photo is courtesy of Holly and the below one Brynn took. :-) The girls had a fun time getting the party started out on the dance floor.  With no nap and a late hour approaching, Clara didn't last too long. Not the case for Brynn, though! We took Clara home to bed and Brynn stayed with Grandpa and Grandma to shut down the dance. Holly said she was having a blast dancing ...  and even got in on the garter belt.  Apparently the tiebreaker was rock, paper, scissors.  As predicted we had bad weather on Monday which resulted in a snow day and no school. Dana stayed home with the girls in the morning while I made it into the office to get some things done and was back home before 1:00 when Dana went into CNH. The girls kept themselves pretty busy and Clara took a good nap, so I was able to continue some work at home. We took a little break for some photos
