Pink Pig and Santa 2011

Today we made our annual trip to ride the pink pig (an annual Atlanta tradition at Christmas) and to visit Santa.  My girls had fun riding the pink pig with their friends, but really today they were all about seeing Santa.  This weekend Handley worked really hard writing her list for Santa and even helped Harper with her list too.

We met up with our friends and rode the pink pig first before the line got too long.

They also got to see Pricilla - the official mascot of the pink pig - and have their picture made with her.  I thought Harper might be OK with the pig since she did so well with the cow last weekend, but that wasn't the case.  She wanted nothing to do with Pricilla.

As always, they had fun riding through the pink storybook scenes.

Hudson will have to have his first ride next year.  He and I watched and took pictures, but Jen came and brought Parker for his first ride on the pink pig!

Next it was off to see Santa!  Harper has been SO excited about this trip.  She seemed a little nervous while we were waiting in line, but after watching the other children sit on his lap she ran right up to him with Handley and started showing him her 3 lists (complete with pictures, stickers and random numbers Handley was helping her write).

We even stuck Hudson on Santa's lap for a quick picture and he seemed more interested in the people in line, but I got a shot with all three of the kids, so I was happy.

After giving Santa hugs and high fives we were off to eat lunch at Chick-fil-a and then home to get ready for playgroup at our house.

Loved Hudson's giant smile in this picture. 

I am officially exhausted this evening, but seeing how happy and excited the kids were, makes it totally worth it.
