Homecoming 2023

Settle in! I may have gone a bit overboard on Homecoming pics which was this past week/end at Brynn's school.

Brynn did most of the dress-up/spirit days and was good about sending me pics of her and Hubert and friends from school. They kind of tapered off with the pics in the latter part of the week, sadly. 

Monday was jersey day.
 

Tuesday was comfy vs classy. 



Wednesday: Country Ken vs Malibu Barbie

The football game was Friday night against another Fargo school. Eagles won!


Clara and I walked over just before halftime. It was such a beautiful night out.

Of course Clara found some kids she knew from her school.

I hawked these next few pics off of the guy who does photography for the sports teams. This was the homecoming court. Clara excitedly told me they came over to visit them at her school on Friday.

The king and queen. I was giggling at the eagle.



The homecoming dance was Saturday night at the school. Brynn went to get her nails done in the morning.

Brynn and Hubert's other friends, Clara and Lourens, were going together as couples. They all came over to hang out for the day and get ready at our house. 

Brynn and Hubert made homemade pizza and coffees for lunch.







We took pics in the orchard again this year. It was so fun. The kids looked amazing!




















They had a great time at the dance and left early to go eat at Applebee's before coming back to our house for the rest of the night. Brynn's feet didn't make it out unscathed though, unfortunately.

Oh man, I LOVE the pics! So great. I'm glad they all had a great time. What fun that they all got ready at your house. And holy cow, the homecoming court is huge!

P.S. Brynn looks so grown-up! Gah!

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...

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...

Clara's 11th Birthday

Clara celebrated her 11th birthday with a disco themed party with her friends and musical party with family. Happy birthday, Clara Rae! We love you! Brynn baked and decorated Clara's family party cake while Clara decorated the cupcakes she and I baked for her friend party. Dana and Clara turned the back garage into a discotheque and Clara made up a playlist for Dana to use when he was DJing.   I made her birthday baked oats the morning of her birthday. Brynn did an incredible job on the cake! After her own party, Clara was off to another one for her friend Elizabeth.  On Sunday Clara wanted to go to The Olive Garden for her birthday dinner out. They gave her a whole container of mints just for her. Ha.
