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!

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

 Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library.  On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
