Activity Advent Day 9: The Pink Pig and Santa


Today I surprised the girls with a trip down to Lenox Mall to meet some of our favorite friends and ride Macy's Pink Pig and meet Santa. We did this same thing last year with these same friends. Guess it's a tradition now. The Pink Pig is an Atlanta tradition. It might be the most random tradition ever. A large pink pig and Christmas go together right? Well they do in Atlanta. We all had a squealing good time riding the Pink Pig train. There was a person dressed up like Priscilla the Pig at the entrance. Curly was so excited. The Bear wanted nothing to do with a large pink pig dressed in a poodle skirt initially. She eventually warmed up to Priscilla and even sat on her lap for a picture. After riding the train, we headed to see Santa. There was no line. Both Curly and The Bear sat on his lap and told him what they wanted for Christmas. Santa gave them candy canes. Curly ate hers up quickly. The Bear took one lick and threw it on the floor. She apparently HATES the taste of candy canes. I swear that girl is the world's worst eater. We finished up our super fun morning with lunch at Chick Fil A, of course.

Tickets in hand. Ready to ride the Pink Pig.

Pure joy on their faces as we rode the Pink Pig for a second time
