Greta's Last Day of Kinderquest

Greta had such a wonderful year of preschool with Miss Cindy, Miss Nancy, and all her new friends.  I'm really proud of her ability to be a good friend and have fun with everything she does.

Marathon (5/9/15)

I ran my first 1/2 Marathon in Fargo in May.  Greta and Gabriel braved the cold and were my great cheerleaders!

Random Winter Fun

 Greta and I attended Shrek the Musical at the Frazee High School.  She loved it!

We also attended a special story time at the library in Detroit Lakes and received the book, "Moo."  Greta got to pet a calf, but Gabriel felt more comfortable sticking to his puzzles.

Greta Turns 5!

My Sweet Greta turned 5 years old this year.  She got to celebrate with her first friend party.  We played games and had pizza and cake at her watermelon themed party.  We also celebrate on her actual birthday with our tradition of a birthday doughnut and trip to the Lake Park.  Greta continues to be my fun-loving, intelligent, and kind little girl.  I love her to the moon and back.

Five Year Stats:

Height:  46 inches (95%)

Weight:  46 lbs (81%)

St. Patty's Day and May Day!

Greta was in shock that the leprechauns came and messed up her bathroom when she was sleeping.  They even pee-peed GREEN! 

These two didn't disappoint and delivered their cute little May Day baskets again.  Once again, they got away without any smooches.

Visit to Old Papa's (March 2015)

I decided that today is the day.  The day I need to get caught up on this blog.  So here's my first post from back in March.  We were lucky enough to get to make a trip to visit Old Papa for the weekend.  Greta was pretty excited to get to stay at Old Papa's house, and quite surprised he had toys for her to play with.  Old Papa also spoiled these two with a trip to the toy store to pick out a special treat.

Valentine's Day!

Greta would tell you, "it was the best Valentine's Day ever!"  It started with Oma coming for a visit bringing a "party in a bag" for Greta's Valentine's treat and a toy dump truck for Gabriel.  They had party after party, and the parties were continued with a preschool party and then a party at daycare.  We ended our Valentine's weekend with a getaway to a water park in Brainerd.

One of the many parties with Oma.

Special Valentines from Tante & Tee and Henry & Lydia also arrived in the mail.

Gabriel's favorite part of the trip was running and falling down on the bed.

Anxiously waiting for the pool to open.

At last...swimming!

 

And Greta's favorite part of the trip...the waterslides!  This waterpark was perfect for younger kids, because Greta was able to touch the bottom of the pools and go on all the water slides.  We'll be looking forward to our annual Brainerd trip next winter!
