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! 

El Dorado Christmas

We had a wonderful time visiting Chad's Memaw in El Do!  We also got ot see Gran, but no pics of her!  Harry loved having Tyler there!These two...LOVE each other..too fun!Chad's family always gets a picture by this swing...every time we are there!  I love it!

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!
