Phipps Santa + The Pink Pig (and a Winner)

Mother and Daddy-O arrived on Thanksgiving eve and we spent the night kicking off the holiday season with a few of our family’s favorite traditions.

Our first stop was to see the Santa at Phipps Plaza – our 8th year visiting THE undisputed Santa of the South.

The littles worked on their lists pretty much all day long.  I’m hoping Santa knows what strange things like “Rayquaza full art level ex” and “Darth Maul outfit” mean, because I’ve never in my life seen lists with such odd terminology.

In fact, the PCP’s list was brief, but exceedingly detailed.  So much so that they had to take a little snooze before getting to the baby’s list.

After hot chocolates and espressos at Starbucks (and a quick pop in the Lilly store), we scooted over to Lenox for our annual ride on the Pink Pig.
