Easter 2021

Since we didn't have a chance to do Peep s'mores when we were at Tessa's house last, we were able to take home some Peeps to do on our own. Thanks, Auntie!



The girls had Friday off of school for the holiday, but were distance learning on Wednesday and Thursday again for school staff to receive vaccinations. 


After they got their school work done on Wednesday, the girls dyed eggs.













Wednesday night the girls went to Grandpa and Grandma Froemmings' to stay until Dana and I were planning to join them later on Saturday.

It was our friend, Dave's, 40th birthday on Friday night, so we went out to celebrate at Rough Cut, an axe-throwing place in town. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was actually really fun.


Dana loaded up our four-wheelers on Saturday and we all headed out for a nice ride right when we got to Kevin and Holly's.




The girls had picked out some stuff with Grandma at the dollar store in town and Brynn and Grandma made a fun scavenger hut with their loot.


Dyeing more eggs!





I was out early on Sunday morning looking for the Easter Bunny when I noticed the Son has risen. :-)

Grandma made Easter morning caramel rolls (yum!) and Clara thought she should add some M&Ms.

Happy Easter from the Froemmings!

My beautiful girl. 💗

Was Easter Sunday like three years long?! Why does she look so old in this photo?

On the hunt...








We were happy to finally be able to see Grandpa and Grandma Oberg.

They found their Easter baskets outside.




While we were getting ready to leave on Saturday to go to the farm, Dana noticed Mickey was not in his cage. We searched for quite a while, trying to find him. We knew he had been behind the fridge, but that's were the trail went cold. Finally we just had to give up and get going to Dana's parents', so Dana put a board as a ramp up to his cage and we put some carrots in there to try and see if that would lure him back in.

He was still MIA when we returned on Sunday evening and all of us searched around again for him. We knew he had been in Clara's room and back behind the fridge again. We didn't have a lot of hope of finding him....or even alive anyway. That was until Dana was lying awake in bed on Monday evening trying to listen for the little critter and heard something scurrying down the hallway. He saw Mickey scurry into the spare bedroom and got him trapped behind the door. He woke me up and then we got Brynn up and were able to get him into a shoebox and back into his cage.

I still can't believe that we were able to find him, first of all, much less actually get a hold of him to capture him again. He doesn't like to be held at all typically.

Great video! And yes, Brynn does look so grown-up! Looks like you had a wonderful Easter. Hopefully we can make peep s'mores together next year!

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...
