40th Birthday Party

Last weekend my parents hosted a joint 40th birthday party for us at the lake. We had so much fun with everyone who was able to come celebrate with us. Thank you to all for the great food, company, gifts, photo-taking and birthday wishes! We love you all.

Christel had been saving the tiara and sash that Dana gave to her to wear for her 40th. Passing the torch. :-)

I got one too.

Mmm...the cake was so delish!

It was an absolutely gorgeous day out.

Cousins!

Other May birthday people...my dad's was on the 11th and Grandpa's was on the 17th.

Beginning of the after party. These were our shot glasses. Yikes.

So far, so good.

Hahaha. After this my mom challenged me to arm wrestling....and then she let me win.

The other after party.

We're just keeping the celebration going as Dana and I are getting ready to head out for a weekend at Kohl's Resort just the two of us.

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...

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...
