A blog makeover + a Christmas wrap-up

First, did you notice my blog is way cuter now?  My fabulous friend Natalie (no link - private blog) helped me change the layout and I love it!  I know it doesn't read well on any i-type devices (not sure why?) but it works great every other way.  Check it out!  I'll update it again after V-day is over but I fell in love with this cute layout and had to use it.  Natalie is so amazing. She's in my ward (well, was - she just moved) but I think we really got to know each other through our blogs.  She is also the most consistent commenter ever.  Love that and love her!

Okay, secondly, yes, it's January 12 but because I'm trying to be a better blogger and because my blog is for, well, me, I decided to post some of my favorite pics from all of my Christmas celebrations.  It really was a perfectly lovely holiday...fun, relaxing and relatively stress-free.

DeAnne, Michelle and Donna - friends for 22+ years! Flash was off the camera, thus it's fuzzy. Sigh.

My mom wrapped my family gifts for me! She rocks!
