November

Grandpa and Grandma Froemming came up to spend the night for an appointment they had the following day. Brynn needed new snow pants and mittens, so Grandpa tagged along with us to Scheels....and begged to ride the Ferris wheel. hehe - okay, maybe not begged, but he did go on a ride with Brynn.

Clearing snow...



The girls were delighted that nanny Jenine invited them over last Saturday to help her decorate her house for Christmas. Of course she had the best snacks for them. She is such a gem. 

Amanda and I went to a comedian at the Fargo Theatre and then out to dinner at Blackbird.


Placing notes in the holes at Blackbird.


I had wanted to check out the Christkindlmrkt downtown. It's a German Christmas bazaar. Brynn and Brooklyn were down for going with me but by the time we made it down there, it only had a half an hour left for the day. Some of it is outdoors at the Civic Center and then there are more vendors and live music and other shows inside.  It was such nice weather and then it started snowing and was so pretty.





Since we didn't have much time on Saturday night, the girls wanted to come back to check the rest out on Sunday. They were selling s'mores kits and had fire pits to roast your mallows and all. I mostly warmed myself by the fire while the girls at their Windsor Waffles inside. 

Sister loves...only a little bit forced for my 365 photo project. :-)

Ryder the Snowman!



Tonight I found myself back at Blackbird...this time with the girls so we could take in the tree lighting in Broadway Square.







It was a nice enough evening outside, but we got chilled pretty quickly and made our way home. Clara snuggled up with her book for a while.

The girls have tomorrow off of school, so I have our to-do lists ready to tackle preparations for Thanksgiving. Have a happy Thanksgiving if we won't be seeing you at our house this week. :-)

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

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...
