Well today, we ventured down to Lenox Mall for our first trip to Macy's Pink Pig! I wanted to go before the actual Christmas shopping season started. It is no fun at all waiting in long lines with a 3 1/2 year old and a 1 year old!
But before we could even get to the pig, we ran right into Santa! There was NO line at all. I couldn't believe it. We are not used to that, especially for Lenox Mall. We normally have to wait at least 2-3 hours. So here we go, I led a reluctant Ansley around to see him. She crawled onto his lap holding Honey tightly for security. Then, she became stoic! Not a sound, not a twitch, not a blink. Poor baby! There was no way she was going to share with him what she wanted for Christmas. Looks like Mommy and Daddy will have to be the messenger this year. Then Kylie joined her sister on Santa's lap and screamed with fright. Tears running down her cheeks. Finally, we got them settled in for a picture. However, there was no one smiling in this year's picture but Santa. Oh well, at least we can look back at the progression of each Christmas and how they reacted to Santa. These moments are priceless no matter how funny or sad they are. I will have to scan those pictures in. They were not taken with my camera.
Then it was time to ride the Pink Pig! Ansley and Kylie loved it! We rode it twice! Their eyes lit up as we went around and listened to the story and looked at all the decorations. Ansley has already said, " That was fun Mama! I want to go back to the Pink Pig!" It looks like we just started an annual tradition!
Waiting for our turn to ride!
