Yes, I'm doing a semi-Christmas post in November. I'm not proud of myself; don't judge. My grandfather builds a lot of furniture pieces for a florist shop in Bowling Green called Deemer's. They generally just tell him what they need, give him a credit card to buy his materials, and he creates awesomeness. Well, I am a little biased. He usually builds things that they can display their beautiful decor on. On this particular Saturday, it was the shop's Christmas Open House. Since Bowling Green is the home of the corvette, Santa rode in to town on a corvette this year. Hmmm.....go with me here.
Hadley verrry reluctantly told Santa that she wants a magic wand for Christmas. By the way, the magic wand is for "hexxing" people. She watched a Sofia the First Halloween special recently where a kid-witch hexxed other kids. So she wants a wand to hex people. Should I be worried?
I think if Canaan had ever actually turned around to see who was holding him, he would have lost it. It'll be interesting to see how he handles our mall santa in a few short weeks.
The wooden corvette that my grandfather built was on display right as you walked in the front door of the flower shop. He put real tires and mirrors on the car, as well as a real steering wheel. When Justin and I got married near Christmas time, Grandaddy built a beautiful white sleigh to hold wedding gifts that we received at the reception. Nana has used it on their front porch, as a Christmas decoration, ever since then. Deemer's liked it so much that they had Grandaddy make one for them. They ended up selling it to someone for $700.00. Guess what the price tag on the corvette was? $1500.00. Too bad Grandaddy didn't get paid that much to build it. Just kidding...he would do it for free. He just loves a compliment and how everyone goes on and on about how amazing he is.
Cousin Levi joined in on the fun, too. We love to support Grandaddy and are so thankful for all he and Nana have done, and continue to do, for us. Good job, Grandaddy!!
