The Pink Pig at Lenox Square

The Pink Pig is a huge Christmas tradition for the city of Atlanta! Jolee and his sister rode it all the time when they were little! It started 50 years ago and was a train that circled the toy department of Macy's around Christmas time. The front car is a pig's face and the last car is the tail. It moved to the roof of Macy's for several years, but now is located in a huge tent outside Macy's! It is a huge attraction and children love it! So this year we stood in the long line and rode the Pink Pig! Ford and Finlee had a blast!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.......

We have been busy as little elves the last couple weeks! Jolee and I are so excited for Christmas this year! Ford is all about it! He loves everything about it and it makes it so much more fun! We cannot wait to see their sweet faces Christmas morning! We are home for Christmas and then headed to Houston the 26th to be with my parents! Cannot wait!

An afternoon at the park!

Some Fall Fun!

Two of the sweetest faces I know!

I couldn't be prouder.........

Ford has been attending a church program called Kidzlife. He absolutely loves it! He does a great job learning his bible verses and usually can tell us quite a bit about what he learned each time he goes. We also read his bible stories with him at night. Well it did not start out this well. Ford had some trouble with listening and following directions as well as throwing things. We have talked and talked to him daily about this! I never know what they will say when we pick him up! Last week, I was walking through the parking lot to pick him up. His teacher stopped me in the parking lot. I was very nervous about what she was going to say, but hoped it was good! Well it was! She told me thta he was the most polite little boy she had met! she said that he has done a 360 degree turn around! she said he has been so well behaved and that he earn BIGKID of the week!!!!! I was so proud of him. He know it too! When he saw me, his face lit up! He knew that he had done such a good time! Such a sweet boy! He told me "Mommy, I am so glad you are happy!" He melts my heart!

So much to be thankful for!

Halloween

We had a great Halloween! Friday night Jolee and I went to a Halloween party at a friend's house and had a great time! The costumes were hilarious! And ofcourse Saturday was a blast! It was raining so we did not stay out much, but Nanny made sure that Ford was not lacking in the candy department:) He got tons and loved every minute of it!
