For those of you who are interested in how New Years goes down in our household now with the little kiddie, this is what we are currently doing ...

First we watch a little hockey. This includes Derek screaming and banging stuff when Canada scores (great eh?).

Then since we are starting our "we're going to get fit" kick January 1st which does not include eating take-out or junk food we opted to eat this for dinner ...

and we did some "toasts"

(Lexi's new thing that my dad taught her) ...

and a few "mom I'm done with the photo shoot" faces ...

and then to conclude our night as we wait for the big old 2011 ball to drop ... Derek and I will be participating in this ...

Oh yeah ... we will be busting moves until 11:59pm haha!

Anyways, I hope you are enjoying your New Year's Eve wherever you may be! Happy 2011 Everyone!

Resolutions.

It's that time again ... time to make the good old New Years resolutions. I don't really know if I've ever stuck to it, but I'm really hoping to make this year the year! So here we go ....

1. N.B.A - Hello my name is Allison and I'm a member of Nail Biters Anonymous. This year however, I need to kick this filthy habit - if not for me, for Alexis so she doesn't fall into this habit as well! I will ensure that I have nail polish on my nails each day to help curve the nail biting habit and will splurge on manicures from time to time to reward myself.

2. Eat Healthier - I think everyone can do this, but we need to bring some healthy eating to our house a little more. I'm not saying we can never eat chips again - but everything in moderation. I will be placing a picture of myself on the fridge to help me realize my goal of what I once looked like "pre-baby" body just for a little added motivation lol!

3. Drink More Water - I HATE water. I doesn't satisfy me at all. But I would like to ensure that with my daily Diet Coke I also get a couple glasses of water in there. It does a body good!

4. "Exercise" - I say this loosely because like most people I'm sure - I hate it. However if it's disguised as something fun than I'm all over that. Hopefully our new Kinect will help with this as we have been playing it together and it seems fun! Plus Derek and I get to challenge each other.

So these were just a few things that I think are reasonable to attain this year. Do make New Years resolutions and if so, what are yours?
