Here is my best attempt at a group picture of the kids.
My girls were both so excited about seeing Santa. I wondered how Avery would do but, she did great. I don't think she looked at him, but she did talk a little. Allie just wanted to take him the list. She kept asking if she had to talk to him, but when she got up there she did talk. She told him all about her list and told him about Avery's list too. Ethan and Nina were so cute. Ethan looked like he felt right at home talking to the big man. Nina cried at first and then she was laughing. She was so cute. Now that we had seen Santa, we tried to get pictures for our Christmas cards. What a disaster! Allie was trying to be good, because she knows it is just easier to smile and get it over with than to fight it. So, she stands there with a fake smile. Avery still fights it. She refuses to look at the camera. So after a while of trying to get a good picture we gave up and went to ride the Pink Pig.
The Girls with Santa
Allie is telling Santa that she is 5 years old.
Allie is making sure he understands the list!
Avery and Nina
The Pink Pig was fun. The kids were so excited about riding it and that we were not making them take pictures anymore. (Well, not many more.)
After a fun night, it was time to take four very tired kids home. It was going to be a long ride back to Newnan, so what did we do. The Varsity! Mandy had the idea to get the kids milkshakes on the way home. It made them happy and quiet. We will definitely add that to the tradition next year!
"Who wants milkshakes!"

Those pictures are great! You got some good ones - you could use a Santa pic for xmas card if you wanted. I'm so glad we got to do this again! The girls looked so pretty as usual! Looking forward to next year!!!!
I want to go next year! That looks like you had lots of fun. I remember going to see Santa at Southlake Mall when I was little. I think we went to the Rich's downtown once... but I don't ever remember riding the Pink Pig. I say put the action shot on your Christmas card... that's real life anyway right?
I love it! You got some good pics! I like the one of Avery looking at the ornaments from the side. What a great tradition!
I think you got some great pictures. The santa ones are definitely worthy of a Christmas card. The girls' dresses are adorable.
How fun. That is a pretty authentic looking Santa. We may have to try the Pink Pig someday.
I love the girls' Christmas dresses!!! You got some great pictures.
Great pictures and what a fun tradition you guys have. Hope you survived the rest of this busy weekend and we'll see you later!
