On Friday, Mama and Daddy encouraged Chase to go to school. He was coughing a little less, and they thought he could do. So what does Chase say? "Expect a call." But a call never came. He stuck it out the whole day. Mama came over to Nanaw's house on Friday morning, after she ran a lot of errands, including picking up the cookie cake and cupcakes for Chase's birthday party on Saturday, getting the cookie cakes for Chase to take to school on his birthday, getting lottery scratchers, going to the bank for Christmas money and taking her pups for a walk. Mama made fudge while Nanaw baked Christmas tree spritz cookies, pecan sandies and chewy noels. The chewy noels didn't turn out right -- maybe Nanaw left the butter in the oven too long or maybe it was the different pan -- larger and no-stick. But Nanaw figured out a way to roll the results into balls and cover them in powdered sugar. When Mama and Nanaw picked Chase up from school, they told the other grandmas about Mama's heated coat, and the ladies thought that was cool. Chase told us that some of the boys and girls and the teachers told Chase they were glad he was back in class. One of the girls told Chase they missed him at the band concert last night. Nanaw tried to get Chase to eat a Christmas tree cookie and a pecan sandy but he only ate Mama's fudge. He had a hockey game tonight but they lost 5 to 1. Mama said she was warm in her heated coat. Nanaw is going to Chase's hockey game tomorrow morning, then to his birthday party at a Ninja place, and then to Chase's house to visit with Jackson and his parents. The last picture is of Mama resting at Nanaw's house in the recliner with a fire and a candle.
