Easter + Oliver's Birthday Party
The girls dyed eggs on Saturday after Brynn had come back.
Clara sang in church on Palm Sunday. I should have reversed the two video clips because I zoomed in on the second one and you can see where she is better, but she is in the middle, slightly to the right, in a green dress. I love the songs that they sang.
The girls were off of school on (Good) Friday and Dana and I had taken off work, so we headed out to my sister's in the afternoon.
The best pizza in all of North Dakota!
On Saturday we celebrated this guy's 6th birthday with an epic Mario Kart cake and festivities. Happy birthday, Ollie Man! We were so glad to celebrate with you.
"Cut the cake and say 'hi-ya!'"
😍😍😍
The older kids held an impromptu bake-off. I was lucky enough to be a judge!
We had such a fun and relaxing stay, spending time with the Weckerlys in their hot tub, hanging out and visiting and learning shuffleboard. Thank you for having us! Love you guys.
Turns out the Dietz Girls shouldn't be allowed to team up for ANY games, not just Pictionary. :-D
It was no surprise that Ollie and Clara were the first ones up, but they so nicely and patiently waited for the other kids before searching for their Easter baskets. The weather hadn't improved much come Sunday, and Easter service ended up being cancelled. It was so strange not to attend church on Easter morning.
The boys got these cool light saber chopsticks.
Clara didn't waste much time getting into her candy.
Unfortunately Clara wasn't feeling well and spent most of the rest of the day resting after her Easter basket. So, she was missing from our family pic.
We were most certainly missing our special Easter Bunny this year. Thankfully her successor did show up though. Clara was really sad once she realized the Easter Bunny paid a visit, but she had missed out. :-(
Thank you, Weckerlys, for hosting another wonderful Easter holiday. He is risen! 🕇
A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.) They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...
The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match. Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
