Ben's Birthday + Beginning of March

Last Saturday we celebrated cousin Ben's 10th birthday at Chuck E Cheese. Everybody had a great time. Happy birthday, Ben! We love you.

They had rented a hotel room for Saturday night so the kids could swim, but invited all the cousins to come over as well.

Then we all went out to Lucy's afterward for Chinese. So good!

Grandpa and Grandma Froemming made it back from their two-month-long stint in Florida. They came to stay the night on Sunday. Clara made biscuits for us to have with dinner.

I love that Clara has Grandma Darlene's machine to sew on and that Clara's grandmas help pass their sewing love and knowledge on to her and Brynn. 💜

Making yet another batch of biscuits (Tuesday night)!

Wherever Clara is, an apple is usually not far.

By earning enough "DOJO" points at school (they are able to earn these points by helping in the classroom and setting a good example, etc.), Clara was able to have lunch with her teacher in their classroom on Wednesday. She was SO EXCITED.

Clara asked Dad to go outside for some four-wheeling before swim class on Wednesday night.

Sharing dessert at Olive Garden on Thursday night...celebrating Dad's work bonus, good conferences report for Clara and Brynn's A on her math test. We all did share the dessert, even though it doesn't look like it in the photo. haha.
