The Pink Pig
One of the great Atlanta Christmas traditions is the Pink Pig. I have the best memories of riding the Pink Pig when I was a kid and now I get to take Abby to ride. Last year was Abby's first time riding it. The train looks different from when I was little. It used to be a monorail train with a cage. They have the old train displayed now and I get claustrophic just looking at it. Today's train is a regular train. Abby loves it. Abby even has her own little Priscilla Pig courtesy of our friend Vicki. Abby has slept with Priscilla every night since she got her.
Waiting to ride the Pink Pig!
When you go before Thanksgiving you can still snag the front seat! After Thanksgiving, the lines to ride are LONG.
Here you can see the original train behind Abby. Like I said, it is like a case of claustrophobia waiting to happen.

And finally, Halloween
This year we went trick or treating with Abby's friends Isabelle and Roman, or should I say that Mrs. Incredible went trick or treating with Superman and Mickey Mouse.
The trio prior to the candy.
Later Abby and Roman dressed up in boas, high heels, and fancy glasses. It was the funniest part of the whole night. They stayed dressed like this for a long time too. We decided Roman looked like Elton John.

More Halloween
Yikes - I can't believe how long it has been since my last update. We have definitely had a lot going on.
This year Abby helped me carve our pumpkin. It turned out really cute. She didn't care a lot for scooping out the pumpkin insides but she did love the toasted pumpkin seeds I made.
Pre-carving...
And after the deed is done.
