Brynn and the rest of us

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 of Brynn though. We had a good time.



I almost don't even want to post this one because she looks SO OLD! So hard for Mama.




Brynn made up some marshmallow PB treats that no one has touched yet...including her.



After blowing snow a couple of times on Monday and Tuesday, Dana was scouring Craigslist for a riding snowblower of some kind.



More sunrises...can't get enough!




You may recall the anti-bullying posters that I had previously mentioned Brynn and her friends posting around school. The night of parent-teacher conferences we received this postcard from Brynn's teacher. It was so nice of him to take time to send us a note, especially since we were going to be seeing him at conferences anyhow.


Finally I was able to take a picture of Brynn next to one of their signs at school.



Being silly after supper the other night.



Good night!

She's gonna be a good dancer!

January Recap

Right before Christmas break was done, Brynn and  I went downtown to Nichole's for some graduation planning. Making lefse! Clara finished up her time in robotics league with a presentation of the robots and mission that she and her partner/friend, Elizabeth, had been working on. Here's a video compilation of two of the missions they presented. It was so cool. I especially liked the one that picked up the rocks. Some of Brynn's recent drawings. Bedtime snuggles. 💜 I was messaging with Clara's teacher to see if he could let her know that Brynn would pick her up from school one of the very cold days last week. He wrote me back to confirm Clara received the message. I asked Clara when she got home if she wrote that last sentence. Haha. Clara had her first swim meet on Saturday, which was a 'home meet,' hosted by Clara's team, the Red Dragons at Moorhead High School. She was disgruntled about getting up at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning, but each team had specifi...

Clara's Recital + Scouting Event + XaFriendsgiving

I was in full fall mode watching 'When Harry Met Sally" in my turkey leg slippers the other night. Dana and I went out to eat at Granite City on Friday night and I think I found my signature cocktail for Christmas. It's called Snow on the Beach and it was so pretty and tasted really good! Saturday morning Clara had her piano recital and did a great job! Thank you to sister Brynn and the grandparents for coming. After lunch with everyone (family, not the other piano students), she was off to the next thing which was  a Scouting event at NDSU. She had to miss the morning session because of the recital, but in the afternoon they made a tool box. It turned out great. That night we had the XaBeat (the exercise dance class I go to) crew with spouses over for a little XaFriendsgiving. It was super fun. Dana mixing up old fashioneds. There was no shortage of food - it was an amazing spread. Dana smoked a couple turkey breasts that turned out really well and the stuffing sausage bi...

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...
