Today is my Dad's birthday. We had dinner at Birdtown in Robbinsdale. They have great food, are affordable and so family friendly. We all love it. Even little miss H as you can see loves her grilled cheese and french fries. Oh the simple pleasures in life.

We took Hailey to visit Santa. I thought she was going to be OK, with no tears.

Wrong. There were tears. My favorite is the picture in the middle. Sheer panic. Am I horrible for laughing?

Classic crying with Santa picture.

I think every kid needs to have a picture like this with Santa.

In all my spare time (haha), I had been packing up for our move. We met the owner of our new rental house tonight and got the keys! We were so excited to get going.

Moving Day 1: We borrowed Wayne's cousins trailer and then had a bunch of vehicles.

This was at our current house.

This was at our new house with trip #1. We moved pretty much all day. It was so nice outside.

Moving Day 2

We just had to move a few more things from the old house to the new and just did some cleaning at the old place. It was a very long two days, but we were excited about our new home. The first thing I did was put up our Christmas tree. It was starting to feel more like home as soon as it was up.

Friday, December 21, 2012

We did Christmas with just my immediate family. We had a spaghetti dinner, opened presents, then had desert. It took awhile for Hailey to get into the gift opening.

Santa was going to be at Birdtown that evening, so we decided to have dinner there and see if Hailey's second experience with Santa would be different than her first. It was. She didn't cry, but was still VERY nervous.

Wayne had to work the morning of Christmas Eve, so after he got home at about noon, we headed out to my hometown, Clara City, for Christmas with my Mom's side. We went to church, had dinner at my Aunt's house with the whole fam and then drove home late that night. It was so great to spend time with my Grandma who I don't get to see all that much.

Since we got home so late the night before, we took our time getting ready. We headed over to Wayne's side family Christmas. We usually always spend Christmas Day with his Mom and family. We ate delicious food, opened presents and had lots of laughs.

New Years Eve. I worked for part of the day and then I decided to go with Wayne to Babe's that night, so we went and had dinner at my parents house. They always do a surf n turf meal. So yummy!! Hailey stayed with them over night, and I went with the Hubby and met up with Beth & Josh. It was a low-key night, but super fun to catch up with a couple of my favorites!

There's 2012 for you!

So here we are again.Yes, I got fakes put back on. I am in a wedding in April and decided I wanted them again for the shower and parties and then eventually for the wedding. I know I'm so vain, but I love having them.

Here are my nails this week:

I've almost completed two full weeks of using MyFitnessPal. 

Is anyone else on there? Find me at ladanielson.

Using this app, has made me realize how much I'm eating and what I'm eating and also that working out on a daily basis affects my calories. I'm proud that since joining the gym and really committing myself back on February 16th I am down about 5 lbs. That's about a pound a week, which is HUGE for me! I can already feel it in my clothes and can tell my body is changing for the better. 

I've been exercising about 3 times per week. Usually Zumba.I've also been eating better, eating smaller portions, I cut out coffee completely (for lent), am limiting soda and drinking more water. Oofta. It's all hard work, but it's really paid off so far. It's only been one month and I'm just beginning, but I feel like I've gotten a good start and want to keep on going. I've found a lot of motivation all around me from fellow bloggers to my friends to just seeing the results of it all and wanting to keep going.

This week I have been groovin to Nelly's "Hey Porsche." He is one fine lookin specimen.

I love it and crank it up anytime I hear it!

I'm so happy that Fashion Star is back! Anyone else watch it? I love Jessica Simpson. Always have and always will. I have no shame and I know she's a ditz, but girl knows her shit and no one can argue with that.

I'm excited about my two new Zumba workout tanks I got off Zulilly. I'm slowly building up my stash of new AND cute workout clothes. I've realized I don't like working out in anything else other than tanks. I just get too hot in t-shirts and I like working out if I feel like I look cute.

Also? Can we talk about cuteness, please? My friend owns a laser business and made me this cutsom iPhone 4s case. I just got it today and am in love!!!

I'm looking forward to this weekend. No really big plans. I am going to a jeans party tomorrow evening, running some errands and hopefully a little shopping at the MOA.

What about you?

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
