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.
That's Entertainment
That's Entertainment was on PBS this afternoon. I turned it on for the music but Abby was fascinated with the dancing. She especially loved the tap dancing.

Zoo
We are members of Zoo Atlanta and go there a good bit. It is such a great place for kids to run and Abby is generally good and tired after each time we go. This day was just perfect fall weather and we had so much fun.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.







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.

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.
Abby and Lucy
Each night after her bath, Abby gives Lucy a big good-night hug. On this particular night there were lots of hugs for Lucy and Lucy reciprocated with lots of kisses for Abby.



They love each other!

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.
