Easter 2024

 Clara sang in church with the rest of the Sunday School kids on Palm Sunday. They sang one of her favorite songs at the moment.


 A beautiful sunrise one morning this past week.

The girls had Friday off of school so we dyed eggs that morning.





Then Clara and I had nail appointments in the afternoon.


Saturday afternoon we made our way to Hurdsfield.

We attended the Easter sunrise service in the very balmy balcony at Chad and Tessa's church. All the churches in Goodrich were hosted for the Easter service at the one church so it was nicely full and each of the pastors all did a portion of the service. Elise did a great job playing piano and Oliver and Reagan sang 'Jesus Loves Me.'



Yay Marsha! Dana loves cats!












Tessa and Chad hosted another wonderful Easter holiday. We are so blessed. 💜


The adults were hot tubbin' on Saturday night until Chad announced it was 12:30 and we realized we hadn't filled any eggs for the hunt yet. Reagan kindly helped us at about 1:00 or 1:30 and then promptly hid all 80+ eggs.



We were all so delighted that the Easter Bunny made a visit.

And we even all got a turn to sit on/with the bunny.









The girls originally were set to have Easter Monday off, but ended up having school to make up for a snow day. Bummer. I took it off though and was glad to get caught up on a lot of things around the house and some errands. I walked to school to pick Clara and her friend, Cora, up and then took them to the crafternoon at the library.

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...
