Aunt E Comes To Visit Tonight!

Georgia knows more about Aunt E, my sis Katie, coming in town tonight than about Santa coming to visit. It will change some day, Aunt E. Then it'll be all about SANTA! My sis lives in NYC and takes the train down for Christmas. Sounds so citified, is that a word? I am off work until December 29th. Yippee!! However, I have much to do!! Remember Jesus Is The Reason For The Season! I hope everyone who reads my blog knows my Jesus. Merry Christmas!!

Mary & Jofus...

I think it's so cute. Georgia says, "Jofus" instead of "Joseph". I think it's precious!!

Highlander Christmas!

I added some Christmas to the Highlander...

Christmas Came Early!!

Christmas came early to the Garner house! The Dell Santa delivered an Inspiron today. Hopefully, the laptop will give me more access to the computer and internet, instead of the Blackberry Storm I am drooling over. I just can't go there yet because I don't want to be that connected.

Why? I watch people go through checkout lines on the phone without a word to the cashier. I see people in the presence of others text and read e-mail instead of enjoying the other person's company. No one smiles, says hello while enjoying a walk or stroll. Everyone always has their eyes and fingers on their phones. Why do we do this?

I have been thinking about what kind of message this sends people or my child? Someone who may have just needed a hello and smile because they were having a bad day. What does my child think when we are in the car just the two of us, and I am texting on the phone instead of enjoying her company? Do I really want her to learn this behavior? We don't even have a DVD player in our car to keep Georgia busy. Am I old-fashion? ABSOLUTELY!!

Anyway, I'll get off the soap box. Hopefully, I didn't offend anyone too much. Just something that has been on my mind. The laptop is my solution to be a little more connected instead of waiting for Rick to get off the computer. I try to only use it when G is not around. Unless it is something she can help me do. Yes, right now she is in bed!

Merry Christmas!!

The one thing I have done regarding Christmas decorations is to put some on the outside of the house. I felt like Clark Griswold from Christmas Vacation, since this is the most we have ever decorated on the outside. See...I'm not totally depriving Georgia of Christmas decorations!! Enjoy!

The Spelling Game...

Rick and I have begun spelling words around Georgia so we can still talk in front of her. She is listening! Sometimes Georgia will say, “Momma, do you know s-r-f-d-k-n-s. Right, Mommy?” I just laugh and say “Yes, mam!” She really thinks she is spelling actual words. It’s hilarious, and I am not going to tell her she isn’t. However, there is no telling what I am agreeing to!!! ;-)
