Moving Day

 Ben has decided that his second bedroom will be a walk-in closet, no surprise there!!!!  I suspect it'll be a "Room of Requirement" most of its existence!!!!

At least his bedroom is tidy!!!!
The couch just fits in his room
Sam fixing his online accounts!!!!
Maggie ALWAYS looks happy!!!!!
I love Ben's kitchen

Christmas 2020

I think a lot of families would say they had more gifts than usual this year, we certainly did.  Not sure if it's a result of boredom and online ordering, overcompensation for lack of social interaction, or extra funds for not eating out etc.  Regardless, we seem to have a lot this year and I didn't get much for anyone else since we aren't seeing anyone this year.....
Ben wanted to open the bag from Arline first, she bought him these Harry Potter pajamas
Ben was in charge of distribution (as usual!)
Jan and Julie got Ben a bunch of "new house stuff" this year
I finally got Sam's Beatles magnets from Liverpool framed-after 2 years!!!!!
Maggie got her usual "things to keep Maggie occupied" gifts a.k.a. "what will keep Maggie off her phone" gifts.  So far, they are not working-mostly because we got her a new phone!!!!!
Gift of the day-Jan and Julie got a Ben a kitchen book, has recipes but also pointers for starting off on your own, was a great idea
We had beef tenderloin for dinner-still staying away from the turkey
Ben wanted apple pie
I even moved my office up into Ben's room so we could eat at the dining table

Ben gets his new digs

We closed on the condo this morning and Ben started moving his stuff in immediately.  I'm so excited for him, I can remember how excited I was with my first place.  Here he is opening his own front door!!
He has a really nice kitchen, I'm pretty jealous
First thing moved in was his dining chairs-table comes Tuesday
His sitting room will get filled up pretty quickly.  He is having our rug and sectional couch, plus our marble top coffee table.  We won't get new furniture until we can get our kitchen and bathroom done
Britani brought us some flowers, plus an Amazon gift card.  Nice touch
