Last Day of December

Happy New Year's Eve! The weather outside was frightful (cold and wet), but that didn't stop our party of five from getting in one last Christmas tradition before the New Year. First thing this morning, we loaded up and headed to Lenox Mall. Today is the Chick-Fil-A Bowl here in Atlanta, and I have to be honest when I tell you the large amount of obnoxious orange we saw all over the city was nauseating! Ha! Anyway, I had just had to share. Last year, during the week of Thanksgiving (Papa and Gigi were visiting), we took the children to ride the Pink Pig for the first time. This was something I enjoyed doing with my family as a little girl, so I am thrilled to pass along this tradition to my sweet babies. Our schedule did not seem to permit time for us to enjoy the pink pig before Christmas, so we settled for going after. It worked out perfectly! There was hardly anyone in line, and we barely had a wait! Again, forgive the large number of pictures, as we do not have any grandparents close by, and we are confident they love seeing as many photos of the babies as possible. Happy New Year!

Waiting in line for our tickets!

So excited about the pink pig!

Going inside, waiting our turn to ride.

David really captured the essence of Tilly in this picture! Sweet girl does not like to be held or sit still! She is on the move!

Well, that's a little better. Smiling at Daddy and waiting our turn. We were first in line!

The original pink pig!

Mommy and Tilly. I literally had to hold her down because I really think she would have jumped ship!

This year was her first time to ride. Last year she was too small, so Papa sat out to watch her while the rest of us rode. You can see more of that here.

While we were riding, Summer kept saying, "Mommy, this is a lot of fun!" She is so sweet! Daddy, once again opted to be our photographer. We are so thankful to him for capturing the special moments in our lives! We love you, Daddy!
