Christmas 2022

My Christmas post a little bit late because there was a delay with some of Damien's presents, but it was an overall great Christmas this year. Scott came over to open presents, then we watched a movie and he stayed for dinner. 

Damien and I decided to make Christmas sugar cookies for December instead of a cake. I forgot I didn't have a rolling pin so I had to use a can of PAM cooking spray, haha

We are not great decorators lol

I ordered myself a new tree this year because I wanted a narrower one to fit the space better. Plus this one is pre-lit! I also got some snowflake lights to hang above the windows

Christmas morning! Damien opening his new mattress

A new ipad!

And of course he's excited for more Robux lol

I don't usually have presents to open for myself, but this year I did! Damien got me the Hillshire Farm set and candles (which smell great) and Scott got me a cookbook and a $25 Walmart gift card to buy the ingredients for my first meal. Very nice! 

Damien's gifts from:
- Great Grammy and Grampy Whitehill and Grandpa Whitehill: The latest ipad
- Scott: An ipad case
- Great Grandma, Tom, and Grandma and Grandpa Hanks: Bed frame and queen-sized mattress
- Sarah: $25 in Roblox Robux, alien playing cards and five black "$100" poker chips from Las Vegas, large Hersey's kiss, Hersey's cocoa bomb, and a side table (purchased later). I'm also intending to get him some new bed sheets when I can find some I actually like
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!

Post present-opening nap? lol

Christmas dinner! I made a roast and Scott brought pasta salad and cheesecake.

The size comparison of Damien's ipad mini that he's had for years and wasn't keeping a charge very well anymore and his new ipad. He loves it!

My first meal from the new cookbook: crispy pork wraps. They were okay, but I don't think I'll make them again. I think they'd be good with a different sauce

Damien's bed frame didn't arrive until after Christmas and the mattress that was opened on Christmas Day was a full-sized mattress in a box marked as Queen and had to be exchanged. But here it is! Scott helped assemble the bed frame.

Since Damien lost his headboard for storage, I got him a little black side shelf for his lamp, clock, and books. I think it looks great! Damien said he sleeps well on the new mattress too :D

Oh I forgot to mention, the bedframe has LED lights with a remote to change the colors.

Damien loved all of his gifts! Thank you to everyone for your contributions! I know I have some things I want to purchase for myself with the money I was sent, but I just haven't gotten around to selecting anything. I have some ideas though! 😁
