Brynn's Senior Prom

Before real prom, we had to don our formal wear for XaBeat. Everyone looked great!

Brynn attended prom with some friends and had a really fun time. I loved her dress, hair and make-up...everything! 😍

Brynn and Daysha

More friends:

Dad got his car all washed and wax for Brynn to take out.

Daysha and her boyfriend invited Brynn to come out to dinner with them, so Brynn asked her co-worker friend to join them so she didn't feel like a third wheel. :-) He is a junior at South High.

Clara and watched the Grand March together in person. The theme was The Golden Age of Hollywood. The decorations looked fantastic.

Tessa sent me some screen shots of the YouTube live as they were watching.

After the Grand March, they take more candid photos and we were able to say hi/bye to Brynn on our way out.

I loved seeing all the dresses this year - they were all amazing.

I volunteered to run breathalyzer at post prom again this year. A pretty fun and thankfully uneventful gig. Brynn hung around visiting with me and other incoming kids while she was waiting for her friends to arrive.

I came home after my 'shift' and fell asleep on the couch until I heard Brynn come home around 3:00. She stuck it out for the big prizes at the end and won a couple good smaller ones and a MacBook! She was pretty excited.

We are definitely feeling in the throes of all the 'lasts' as we're winding down to graduation. So many mixed feelings and lots of emotions...at least for Mom anyhow!

Oh my gosh, look at you gals and guy! I love all the pictures. So many beautiful girls and dresses. I really loved Brynn's hair, too. And what a score on the Mac book!!

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...
