A Very Grandmother Georgia Christmas



As soon as we left the Dean's house, I talked Mom and Emily into riding up to Grandmother's early with me, Harry and Chad! We had the best drive! We were laughing most of the way! Mom and Emily are my "bestest" girlfriends! Grandmother is no exception!

Emily did my hair! These are my 3 girls!

Harry would not leave the fudge alone!

Grab it and GO
He thought he was hiding!
These Christmas novelties were the hit! Harry was in awe' of them! A little scared of the snowman!
My Grandmother Georgia also has a lot of land out in NEA, so Harry once again had to explore the terrain!Harry found his own walking stick!Dad finally arrived! WHOO HOO! Christmas Eve is when we open our presents! Grandmother always has the most, her Christmas tree is full of presents just for her! Harry helped unwrap! Harry loved climbing on Bobo's and Coco's presents! This is what we do a lot of at Grandmothers and that is Scrabble! Chad has found a new "love for the game"! I won this time, but I know that Grandmother Georgia is usually the winner! Another Christmas favorite is eating all of Grandmother's homemade candy and the "good" stuff sent in! See's and Harry and David have the best chocolates EVER! We were chowing down, but Grandmother does not like for you to bite and then put back for someone else! You take it, you eat it! That really wasn't a problem all of these chocolates were yummy!

When we woke up Caroline and Olivia were there! Harry also woke up with a little cold too. We had a dance party! It was quite a trip! Harry had a private one on Christmas Eve with Bobo, Coco, Me, Chad, Emily and of course, Grandmother! The video of him showing one of his moves is way below!Caroline and Harry are crazy about each other, it is so funny how they follow each other! Harry also adores Olivia! Harry and Caroline go on their own adventures together!
They needed a little fresh air, Harry was the first to let them know that!Then Harry let us know he was not feeling the best! He was tired and just wanted to cuddle!


I know it is not secret that I am partial to Grandmother Georgia's house! It is my very favorite place in the world! We have most of our Christmas traditions here and it is where I must be every Christmas Eve, although I did miss the last 2 years. Grandmother is the best cook I have ever met, and I know some of the best! She sent out her Christmas card this year with a picture of her on an Alaskan glacier! She gets around! For 89 she is sharp as a tack, and let me tell you, me beating her at Scrabble is no piece of cake! If quo was not a common noun(Chad's phone said it was, but even blogger says it is not)...I would not have won! I am crazy about this lady, words can not describe the adoration and appreciation I have for her. It is just not Christmas Eve with out being at her house with her and her tree! Harry was "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"
