Christmas at the Averys

Dish soap & Bisquick not pictured (but added!)

All the effort we made couponing these past few months made for some amazing gifts for our family!

We made up a box for my husband's mother and three siblings.  While we didn't keep track of how much all this cost, we estimate $15 to $20 for the four boxes we made.  A little unconventional, but I think all were impressed!

Christmas Eve

It was a great Christmas this year! We managed to budget, coupon and make Christmas look so easy!

 Doesn't this tree look great?  If you were in our living room, you would know that this tree has been dead for weeks :)  We forgot to cut the trunk...  This is the only time the lights were turned on for fear of fire.  Oh well!  My girls are young; this small detail didn't affect their Christmas experience in the least.



I hope you had a very Merry Christmas!

PS - the tree was hauled out of my living room today, so I am very happy.
