Last Saturday we had a fun time celebrating cousin Elise's 10th birthday party at Detroit Mountain in Detroit Lakes. After a brutal week of cold, we really lucked out with a nice day for tubing. Happy birthday to Elise!
Haha! This scene was so hilarious. When we were out to eat Christel ordered seafood strew which included a couple of crab legs. Apparently the girls hadn't seen anyone eat crab legs before and they didn't seem to take too kindly to it. Brynn looks horrified and Clara traumatized. I think they're ok now, though.
We have been seeing a lot of sundogs lately due to the bitter cold. This was across from our house on Monday.
Even so, Brynn went outside to play after we got home. Brrr!
Rosy cheeks!
On Tuesday night I hosted book club at our house and made one of my favs: chocolate chip cookie cheesecake bars. I had to taste test to make sure they were ok for the book clubbers.
Dana fired up his snowmobile and was giving the girls rides around the yard on it.
We found ourselves in the midst of another snow day today. Even Dana stayed home and he and I both tried to work from home. The girls did pretty well keeping busy; Brynn more so than Clara, of course. Clara did make a lot of Easy Bake oven creations though. She took her shirt off for baking and ended up with chocolate all over her face, stomach and arm. Ha.

Brynn has been asking me for months to start a website that featured hers and my adventures or something to that effect. She wanted to get one going on Wix, but I feel like I can hardly keep up with this blog, much less help her with an entirely different website. But today she asked me if she could just get started on it, so I let her go for it. I think she has the first, homepage all set up. I'm not sure of the URL even though. Work in progress!
She also got her Valentine's box made. I think she may be expecting to receive a lot of valentines judging by the size of her box. Harry Potter themed, of course.
Well, school is two hours late tomorrow, so here's hoping for improved weather conditions.
We are headed to Grand Forks tomorrow for the state Lego League competition on Saturday.
Stay warm, everyone!
After that party, it was on to the next! We celebrated Holly's birthday at True Blue and then with skating afterward. Happy birthday to Holly!
My mom has been cleaning out some stuff from storage and organizing things at their house. She came across an old dress that my grandparents had brought back for me on a trip they took to Mexico. I'm sure I was a long smaller than Clara is now because it seemed to fit her kind of snugly, but it was fun to have her try it on.

Mmm, cheesy quesadillas!
