I often forget to upload the photos from my Kodak point & shoot camera, which I take everywhere but rarely use since the pictures kind of … well … stink.
So I finally uploaded all of them today and tried out Picnik, an online photo editing website that ties straight into Flickr – it’s really easy to use and works well. If you’re looking for a quick-edit program that doesn’t have to be installed on your computer, give it a try. Okay, enough about that.
Instead of exchanging gifts among the adults in my family, we all went to Stone Mountain, Georgia on the Monday and Tuesday before Christmas for their Christmas extravaganza. It happened to be the 2 coldest days in 2008 (high 20′s, low 30′s), but we still had a great time! I didn’t take many pictures because I was huddling into my jacket trying to find warmth, but here’s what I did get.
This is me and the princess sitting on the Snow Angel’s throne – I end up with the “Rudolph Effect” when I’m cold.

Ken had to work today, so I drove down to Atlanta with Emma (stopping by to pick up my mom on the way) to shop at Ikea. Man, I love that place. I think I could just move in there and live for a while — wait, someone already did that.
Anyway, I ended up getting SO much stuff that we needed for a steal, including a bookshelf for Emma’s room, which was really one of the only things I was supposed to buy. Oops. I just couldn’t resist these cute little pots & pans and cooking utensils for E’s play kitchen.
E had a great time, too — even though we shopped right through her naptime. Oops again.

It was a lot of driving (313.3 miles, to be exact) but we had a great time, and little miss E was worn OUT by the end of the day. I put a DVD in to try to keep her awake on the way home, but it didn’t work.
