Grandparents Visits, Friendsgiving, etc.

Well, it seems autumn (weather) is over now as we have snow. These pics were from a couple of weeks ago and most has melted now.

Clara was having a blast sledding down the hill with Daddy. Daddy? Not as much fun. 😃 I love it though and even more from inside the house. Yay, Daddy!

Clara's class took a trip to the Plains Art Museum.

Brynn DIYing Starbucks at home. I think she was happy with how it turned out.

Brave lil bunny got her first COVID vaccine. I'm happy to report that she experienced no side effects. We also received word from Fargo Public Schools that they will no longer be required to wear masks in school come mid-January. Very exciting!

Two peas in a pod working on their projects. Brynn is redoing the shelf that was in the craft room so she can have it in her bedroom.

Goofing around at Walmart.

Movie Night: The original Mighty Ducks. Clara really liked it.

I was so excited to do a nacho night last weekend. I thought they turned out great, especially with Brynn's homemade guac.

More food pics! The latest work blog recipe I made which was Thanksgiving-inspired quinoa stuffing with sweet potatoes, apples, cranberries and hazelnuts. I thought it turned out great. I stuck the leftovers in the freezer and plan to bring it back out for Thanksgiving.

Bedtime routine:

My morning exercise group got together for a Friendsgiving on Friday night.

May, who was at Friendsgiving, said we should come to the Mainline Bar & Grill in Downer on Saturday night as she was going to be bartending. Both Dana's and my parents have been there before and safe to say, we'd all recommend it. They had fantastic food there.

Meanwhile, the girls had a fun overnight visit with each of the grandparents.

The girls dug the LEGOs back out to play.

Clara wanted to try this popover recipe from one of her cookbooks. They turned out really yummy. We don't have a popover pan, so we just used a muffin tin. They didn't turn out then as big as a typical popover, but we mixed up a little honey butter to go with them. Mmm!

So many great photos! Very impressed with Brynn redoing that shelf - awesome! Clara must have great taste in movies; Mighty Ducks is a fave of mine, too. Yum, I love a nacho night (in or out!). Can't wait to give the new stuffing recipe a try. Friendsgiving! How fun! Glad you guys had a good date night and the girls had fun at the grandparents'. Will Clara's popovers be making an appearance at Thanksgiving??

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library. On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
