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!

January Recap

Right before Christmas break was done, Brynn and  I went downtown to Nichole's for some graduation planning. Making lefse! Clara finished up her time in robotics league with a presentation of the robots and mission that she and her partner/friend, Elizabeth, had been working on. Here's a video compilation of two of the missions they presented. It was so cool. I especially liked the one that picked up the rocks. Some of Brynn's recent drawings. Bedtime snuggles. 💜 I was messaging with Clara's teacher to see if he could let her know that Brynn would pick her up from school one of the very cold days last week. He wrote me back to confirm Clara received the message. I asked Clara when she got home if she wrote that last sentence. Haha. Clara had her first swim meet on Saturday, which was a 'home meet,' hosted by Clara's team, the Red Dragons at Moorhead High School. She was disgruntled about getting up at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning, but each team had specifi...

Clara's Recital + Scouting Event + XaFriendsgiving

I was in full fall mode watching 'When Harry Met Sally" in my turkey leg slippers the other night. Dana and I went out to eat at Granite City on Friday night and I think I found my signature cocktail for Christmas. It's called Snow on the Beach and it was so pretty and tasted really good! Saturday morning Clara had her piano recital and did a great job! Thank you to sister Brynn and the grandparents for coming. After lunch with everyone (family, not the other piano students), she was off to the next thing which was  a Scouting event at NDSU. She had to miss the morning session because of the recital, but in the afternoon they made a tool box. It turned out great. That night we had the XaBeat (the exercise dance class I go to) crew with spouses over for a little XaFriendsgiving. It was super fun. Dana mixing up old fashioneds. There was no shortage of food - it was an amazing spread. Dana smoked a couple turkey breasts that turned out really well and the stuffing sausage bi...

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...
