Basketball and New Years Eve

Harry went to his first Razorback game a few weeks back with this dad, uncle, and Papa!  The Monster was woken from his beauty sleep and it took him a while to get out of it.  Although Chad did not take pictures he gave me the scoop on how Harry was and apparently Harry LOVED it!  He loved it as much as he does going to his Uncle Paul's basketball games!  That is where we went the Monday after Christmas.  Chad went on back to work and I stayed in Clarksville a little longer.  I love going to basketball games and so does the rest of my family!Here is some of the Dean crew!  Harry would not leave Mark alone!  He is the daddy of the twins Harry is impressed by!Emily came down and spent the whole week with us and we were sad when she left!  We had so much fun shopping and hanging out!  On New Year's Eve we laid low at our close friend's house.  We played games and laughed the whole night.  I told them we would be leaving super early and of course we didn't get home until 1am, just like the rest of the world.  Harry didn't go to bed until one either!!!  He enjoyed playing with Jake, and Emma Grace enjoyed playing with the adults!Georgia Kelley was an angel the whole time too!  I brag on her so much because, we didn't know babies could be this good!  I feel a bit guilty when I tell people she is pefect but, she really is so easy!  We are excited to see what 2010 has in store for our little family!  God has been good to us and we pray we grow closer and closer to Him!

Four Christmas's and US

Before the four Christmas's with our dear family we had our own Christmas morning where Santa came.  It was finally a year where Harry totally understood that Santa comes.  For about 3 months we have been talking about how he is going to give his pacis to the reindeer so that Santa will bring him gifts.  He has been on board until the night before.  He was screaming and crying for the longest amount of time with comments like, "I just want one little paci and the reindeer can have the rest. Can I just put one in my mouth? and the worst one was ," I don't want Santa to come."   We gave in and he gets a paci at night.  Maybe next year...Santa's footprints!The only thing Harry really wanted was a race track and the one Santa brought is not a very good one....he thought he was giving him a good one!  Georgia Kelley got Harry a few cool toys too!  Poor GK didn't get any pictures taken!

When we got Harry opened more packages from "Santa" AKA California family. 

Chad and I really enjoyed watching Harry experience Christmas this year.  We feel so blessed to have a family who we enjoy being around and celebrating Jesus' birth with. This was the best Christmas yet!

A Dean Christmas

Another wild and crazy Christmas as the Deans!  We wouldn't have it any other way!  Harry loved every minute!  He didn't want to leave!  He especially loved his twin boy cousins.  It was fun watching him follow the older boys around!I loved playing the kid games...we laughed so hard at the "wet whale" game!Grandmother played with Harry a lot, he told me to go away!

Grandmother Georgia Christmas with Traditions

Growing up our biggest family traditions were at Grandmother Georgia's house.  Santa came on Christmas Eve night, around 6pm.We would go in the white room and wait for about 30 minutes because the grownups saw on TV that Santa was about to stop by and we couldn't see him.  We would listen for the reindeer's feet tapping on the roof. The guys all go out side and throw rocks on the roof, it sounds like reindeer feet.  Chad loved getting in on the fun, Dad, Paul and Chad were literally gitty!  Harry was in awe of the sounds!  Then we opened presents and played!On Christmas day we made a gingerbread house!Everyone likes butter with mashed potatoes..Leaving was sad!Is it amazing how much this child likes cheap gifts....I will never learn!  The ball was a HUGE hit!Harry did not like the girls playing with make up!

Christmas at the Ware's

It started by meeting Mimi and passing out plants to Granma's friends at ther assisted living home.  We found her icing cookies...so cute!They loved passing out the presents!Georgia Kelley loooks like she has buck teeth...ha!  We then went to Chad's parent's house to open presents. We met the rest of the family in El Do...more later!Then came the big gift!  He got a tipee...that takes up our whole living room...we love it!Harry liked it when everone piled in!
