It doesn't really feel like Christmas as we spent the majority of yesterday at IKEA buying a new bedroom set for Ben, but we walked away with a new bed, dresser,bookshelf, shelf, and mattress. Funny that for the same $1,200 that I saved couponing and shopping at the same grocery store rewards card over the course of 2009 bought a completely new bedroom and are getting it shipped to Raleigh next week. Fair trade I would say!
Today after the great Santa reveal, we are heading to Atlanta where we will be meeting Bill's family for their annual family reunion. We are also planing a trip to Stone Mountain for the Christmas events (fake snow, decorated train, laser show). Throw in seeing the new Disney Princess movie (yes, Bill wants to go and take Ben) as well as a trip to Dave and Busters for video game paradise and you have our weekend. 
Over the past few days I finished the greeting card place mats, easy sew mittens with old holiday cards garland, and finished another garland with pomanders and apples for the mantle. Needless to say I have enjoyed sitting on my couch, smelling my new carpet with everything decorated. Nice illusion of perfection.
Merry Christmas and wishing all friends a relaxing day surrounded by the ones you love and lots of yummy food.
