So I am continuing my Photoaday Challenge this year, but I am not using any sort of prompt. I am taking a few photos a day and then picking one per day to be that photoaday winner.

I always post these to Instagram, most of the time I also post them to twitter and some times I will post them to facebook.

You can find me on each of the social media outlets and connect with me on my sidebar.

Me in 2013. Bring it! HNY. #day1 #photoaday365

The Drankas were in town for a wedding, so we got together with them at the EP Mall and let Ellie and Hailey play and then we all grabbed a bite to eat at the food court.

I love when they are visiting Minnesota and we can find time to get together.

I invited my friends Jenny, Katie and Laura to come with me this year to So You Think You Can Dance. It was at a smaller theater this year, which was more fun and intimate.

My favortie of the season was Tiffany. She was the runner-up.

Eliana won, which I was ok with.

We met for dinner beforehand and then went to the show. I love that my friends watch some of the same shows I do and we can chat about it. I had so much fun!

Today was our annual Stager Family Christmas. There were a lot that couldn't make it this year, which always makes me sad, but we still had fun!

Papa and Hailey and my brother, Ross.

The rest of the family and Hailey sitting with Grandma Karla.

The puppies turned 6 years old today, too. They aren't spoiled or anything.

Today was our 6 year wedding anniversary. I always think that I can't fall anymore in love with him, but it never fails. My love for him has only grown stronger and deeper over the years together.

I love you, Wayne!

Phillip Phillips from American Idol came into the KDWB Skyroom today. I haven't watched Idol im years, since Simon left and they started changing the judges, but I do love Phillip's voice and was so excited to see him and meet him in person.

I went to see the Breaking Dawn Part 2 premiere at West End in St. Louis Park with my cousin Nicole and LOVED it. It was such a great ending to the series!!

We are usually at my parents house and eat at noon and then make krumkake in the afternoon. It's our yearly tradition. My aunt Laurie always makes the batter and then we have our two oven going and two rollers. It's a lot of work, but so fun! Hailey tasted it this year for the first time and loved it.

 

After, we're done with that, we usually stop at Wayne's Mom's house and eat with them for dinner. We always end the night at home and so full from all the yummy foods.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year was more fun than last year. Not cause she really GOT what Halloween is, but because she could walk and talk a little bit and actually participate and have fun.

The weekend before Halloween, we stopped at a local pumpkin patch and she helped us pick out her pumpkin.

Being the great Daddy that Wayne is, he got on the floor with her and "helped" her carve her pumpkin.

She didn't know what to think about the messiness of the pumpkin and after about 5 minutes of trying to help take out the guts, she was NOT interested anymore. Such is life with a toddler, right?

Hailey was a cupcake for Halloween. I found the costume at Old Navy. You never know the weather in Minnesota, so it was perfect for the chilly October night. First we stopped at our next door neighbors, then we went to Grandma Kimmy's house and then we went to Grandma Karla and Papa's house to visit.

So busy, but she loved saying "Trick or Treat" and was such a ham. She thought it was so cool that there was candy in her pumpkin.

It was a great night seeing everyone and I look forward to so many more with her!
