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 coupon for a free birthday dessert, so after dinner we went to Blarney so I could collect that. It's our favorite!

And they gave me a free shot too!

Dana is hosting a bachelor party at our house this weekend. He and Clara spent Friday afternoon cleaning out the garage...to turn it into a computer lab apparently. Haha. All the guys are gamers, so Dana got everyone set up out there. 

Clara and I went down to Forest River park for a walk this afternoon.

We learned Zandbroz downtown will be closing in about a month so we wanted to make sure we got there one last time. :-(

May the Fourth be with you if you are celebrating Star Wars day today. I am not a fan personally, but Clara and Dana are. The Fargo Theater always plays one of the Star Wars movies on May 4th, and Dana and Clara usually go out on a little date and take in the movie.

Since Dana had the bachelor party going on, I stood in for him this year. Clara wanted to go back to Jay's Smokin' BBQ, where we had gone for Dana's birthday.

Elite movie snacks!

I confirmed that I am indeed not a Star Wars fan. I had never seen any of the movies because they didn't appeal to me. I was trying to keep an open mind going in tonight, but it was pretty bad, in my opinion. Haha. I brought my iPad with me in case I had wanted to read a book on it, and I was glad I did. I think Clara had a good time though. She had already seen this one which was the fourth in the series: A New Hope. She was still on the edge of her seat though. 

Brynn and her friend Kate when to Dead Lake for part of the weekend. Sounds like they've been having a good time.

Here is a court group shot of the JV tennis team. Brynn is fourth in from the right, in the front. They had two matches that were canceled or rescheduled this past week, again due to weather. They were able to play on Wednesday and won both matches in that game.
