Happy New Year, friends! I hope your holidays were filled with fun and family--and that your 2014 is off to a wonderful start! I took a little break from writing over Christmas, but I didn't completely neglect my tiny corner of the internet...you may have noticed that the blog got a fancy new look! I love the sweet simplicity of this design, and I actually had a little bit of fun learning to install it myself. Nerd alert?! :) Every January I have such a hard time ...
Be Merry.
Merry Christmas from our family to yours! ...

Sorry about your inherited laziness ...

The rules were simple...names would be drawn through Elfster (which worked so well that I ended up using it for my family exchange), the limit was $20, and gifts for the kiddos would be sent by December 10th. When I found out that we got Natasha and Ethan at Schue Love, I was {ridiculously} excited! ...
A Very Christmasy Weekend Recap
Why can't it be Christmas all year round? I mean, really...why not?! This weekend was jam-packed with Christmas fun and we loved every minute of it... 1.
