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. :-)

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
