Pink Pig and Santa

I am going to try and get all caught up on Christmas and the fun stuff we did...it may take a couple days! Last Tuesday, we headed up to Lenox Mall with my mom, Auntie Melin and my cousin, Kelli to ride the infamous Pink Pig and to see Santa. We try and do a girls day every year and really enjoy it! My mom and dad both rode the Pink Pig as a child...Cass and I rode it every year as children...and it is very important for me to pass that tradition down to Eli. Of course, he slept thru the entire thing! haha We had to stand in line for about 2 hours which he was awake for...then he fell asleep as we walking in. Oh well! It is such an iconic thing to do in Atlanta even at our age! I mean who minds squeezing their booties in that small seat...which by the way none of us could do...we were basically sitting on top of each other! It is a small roller coaster of a ride...with no rolls in it! You go around twice and look at all the pepto bismol pink stuff...but boy oh boy is it fun! They wouldn't let Eli on the ride unless he was strapped in his carseat...don't really understand that since I had to put him in a seat by himself and he really wasn't properly restrained. He would have been a lot safer with me holding him but that was the rule. It was fun...we laughed until we cried...then we ended the experience by purchasing our annual Pink Pig ornament and plush pig noses! (The great thing about going so late in the season is all the ornaments are 1/2 off!!)

After our 3 hours Pink Pig experience we headed to Corner Cafe to have some yummy lunch. Uncle Jeff and my cousin Lauren met us there to have lunch and catch up a bit since we missed seeing her at the Moore Family Christmas. After some great sandwiches and soups (to warm us up!) we headed to do some shopping....well, Ginny shopped while I slipped into the lingerie dept dressing room and nursed Eli. If walls could talk! Melin and I quickly headed to Sephora after that...she and I both could spend hours in there...of course she knows what everything is in there and which stuff to buy...me, I just look at everything and wonder how anyone could spend $117 on moisturizer??

Then we were off to see Santa...the line was short and Eli was awake! I didn't have him dressed up in anything Christmasy but he looked like a little man...at least that is what everyone in line said. He didn't cry...he didn't smile...he didn't acknowledge Santa at all. He just sat right on his lap and looked at the camera like...COME ON MOM! Take the picture and let's go home! Here are some photos of our day...can't wait for next Christmas and our annual girls trip (w/ Eli) to Lenox!
