Clara's Piano Recital + Snow + School Program + Tennis Season

 I had forgotten to post these pics of Brynn third wheeling with Dana and me to Plaza a few weeks ago.

I had had a hankerin' for a margarita flight, so Dana shared with me.

Brynn had a proficiency day at school last week and only needed to attend one class that day, so she tagged along with me to a Creative Mornings event that I usually go the last Friday of every month. It always takes place at the Plains Art Museum and they have a different speaker on a chosen topic/theme. They also have craft kits out that you can make a collage with while you're there. It was fun to have her with me and every time I go, I always think that she would get a kick out of coming with me.

Dana and Clara have recently gotten into Sudoku.

Brynn, Hubert and Clara horsing around together.

I was bummed that we ended up with 5"+ of snow last week, but Clara made the most of it. She made a snowman, which I did not get a photo of before his head melted off the next day. :-/

Clara pivoted and made some snow furniture with what was left of her snowman and the snow.

Clara started piano lessons again with a really fantastic teacher near our house. Miss Ainsley held a recital for her students on Saturday and the grandparents came to watch.

Later Saturday she had her friend Cora and her sister, Violet, over and Cora spent the night. They made pancakes for themselves before church and Sunday School the next morning.

Brynn and I trying out her new phone holder contraption that she bought.

Brynn was drawing on Clara's back with her finger and Clara would try to guess what it was.

Clara had her spring program at school on Wednesday. It was certainly a different approach than what they've done in the past, but still really good. You could tell they put so much work into the performance.

The music teacher said to take a good photo of your child before they started. Ha. So, I tried. There are four fourth grade classes at Clara's school. The program included all fourth grade students and they stood on the risers grouped with their other classmates. 

Clara did a great job!

We had to stay to get some more pics..

Brynn's first tennis match for this season was this afternoon. She and her partner did pretty well, so I think they were happy with how it went. They played Fargo North High. And I should have taken a pic of us spectators as Dana was allowed to attend his first match! He technically wasn't "invited" to last year as Brynn is rather particular of how many people are watching her play. Dana, Clara and I watched her first set today (they usually do two total). Hubert arrived to watch so we tagged out with him and then left. :-) We're excited for her to be playing again.

Tomorrow is prom for Brynn's school and she is so excited to attend. Stay tuned for a prom post coming soon.

Happy spring...it finally is starting to feel like it!
