The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

 Almost another month later...I can't believe it's ALMOST Christmas. Wow. It really snuck up on me this year. Things at work have been busy, which isn't anything new. Damien is doing well. I'm just looking forward to a wonderful Christmas together. 

Damien cracks me up with his creativity. His use of the doge dog as a fast food worker who says "This job is torcher (torture)." LOL

It's been difficult to wake up in the winter months and a sunrise alarm clock was suggested to me. It really helps!

Thanksgiving this year went well. Damien and I were invited over to my supervisor's house to spend it with him and his family. Damien had a great time playing with the kids. Personally I found the socialization piece to be quite exhausting, but I figured it would be a nice way for Damien to spend the holiday. 

I got the tree up the day after Thanksgiving. I also bought a new star for the top this year

At the end of Nov, Damien's school held a Family STEM Night. They served us pizza and then they had various science activities throughout the school to do together as a family. Damien and I spent most of our time with the Spheros activity where you program a robot ball. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad we went.

I created an edible soil (pudding, oreos, and marshmallows)

I asked Damien if he needed soap and he said yes and that his bar was getting low. I went to look and THIS was what was left. HILARIOUS! That is the smallest bar of soap I've ever seen in my life!

At the beginning of Dec we had a blizzard and got about 7 inches of snow.

Due to the blizzard I decided to start a puzzle!

Last min I decided to go to my squadron's holiday party. We didn't win anything, but it was a nice time. Damien just woke up from a nap right before this pic. I love it :D

After the blizzard it was cold for the rest of the week and the snow didn't melt so we went sledding. Damien FINALLY got to use the new sled he received last year for Christmas.

I finished the puzzle this week! Damien helped finish it up, but otherwise wasn't really interested in it.
