Programs

We went and visited Santa at the mall a couple of weekends ago. Clara asked for a stuffed unicorn and I don't know that Brynn really was able to ask for anything...maybe a dog... as Santa was giving her a bad time about keeping her room clean. She wasn't too impressed and later told me that she didn't really want to sit on his lap. 


And so began the programs! The first was Brynn's school program.(She's in the blue top and burgundy pants.)


This was from the Sunday Clara sang in church during the service.




Making a Christmas countdown chain which they haven't really been keeping up on very much.




I love this dress we found for Brynn. She looks so old. This was the Sunday she sang in church.


Last Saturday Brynn and I road-tripped to Bismarck to celebrate Reagan's 12th (!) birthday. Reagan had chosen to have it at the gymnastics place in town and they had about an hour to play around. They all seemed pretty worn out by cake and presents time. Happy birthday, Reagan!




On Sunday Adria and family came over so I could take some family pictures of them. The girls got to play together a bit and exchange gifts.



The last program was last night with Brynn's choir concert at school. She was super into it and just did a fantastic job. The hand chimes, folk dance and orchestra groups all performed last night as well and it was fun to see their songs too. I especially enjoyed the folk dancing.


Ugly Christmas sweater (and bottoms) day at my office today.


Here is a video montage of all the performances.

I'll try to preface a little bit so you know what you're watching. :-) You should be able to click on the square on the bottom right of the video to view it in full screen mode.

1. Brynn's school program (blue top, burgundy bottoms in middle front)
2. Clara singing in church - but don't try to look for her; she isn't visible. LOL. But the joy that those kids sang with, I had to include it!
3. HopeKids preschool and after school program. In the group shots, Clara is a shepherd in the middle in turquoise and Brynn is an angel to the left.
4. Brynn singing in church. She was disgruntled because the girl in front of her was pretty tall and she kept bobbing up and down to try and be seen. haha.
5. Brynn's choir concert. (She's almost directly in the middle).


They both did so great for all of their performances. It seemed like a lot, but it was fun watching all of them. 

We're still getting ready for Christmas over here, but we have made our bucket list for during the break which includes morning movie, Skate City, volunteering at a homeless shelter, gingerbread house decorating contest and more. We'll be busy, I'm sure!

Fun, fun, fun! Yes, I absolutely love Brynn's dress. Cute sister pics. Is that specifically an MSUM ugly Christmas sweater?! Thanks so much for coming to Reagan's party!

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...
