The Varsity

After riding the pink pig (see post below to find out what that is), we ate at the Varsity - one of Jeff's favorite restaurants growing up. The varsity serves up super greasy burgers, dogs, and fries, but also hands out free paper hats. Rachel has to get one every time. Jake on the other hand isn't very cooperative when it comes to wearing hats.

Pink Pig

What is the Pink Pig, you may ask...well, I asked that same question. I was told that it was a ride and Jeff's parents used to take him and Jack to it every year at Christmas. That still didn't answer my question. I had to find out for myself. We drove an hour and 15 minutes from Cornelia to downtown Atlanta - at the Lenox Mall. We went inside to buy tickets and found quite a long line. This pink pig must really be something, I thought to myself. We waited about an hour to get our tickets and then another 30 minutes waiting in a line outside for the ride - 20 degrees outside and we were not dressed appropriately. Finally after an hour and a half, the kids got to ride the pink pig - essentially a train carnie ride. (And to think we didn't wait 30 minutes for any ride at Disney world....) Now my question is, if you know what the pink pig is, why would you wait over an hour to ride it?

Prayer

Jake gives the blessing before his breakfast (well, before most of it).

Reagan's preschool Christmas party

Reagan was one of the few kids that got stuck in the back row. Seems to be our luck with the 3 year old party. Last year it was Rachel. You can identify our child by the big red bow....

Rachel's preschool Christmas program

Rachel is happy to sing her songs at home (off camera). Standing up front and performing in front of all the mommy and daddys is different.

Men!

Jake (almost 2 1/2) is having a huge fit because he wants help getting his socks off. He CAN do this by himself. After 5 minutes of his fit, I grabbed the video camera. He got one sock off and then had another fit. He wouldn't give up. "I need help!"

Church Christmas Program

The Childrens Christmas program at church was tonight. The preschoolers were supposed to sing Angels we have heard on high with the grade school choir, but had trouble getting on the stage on time. Obviously someone who doesn't have a preschooler picked that song out for them to sing since none of them can say inechelsius dio (I can't even spell it) . They sang Baby Jesus we love you. Rachel dressed as a donkey, Jake is a cow and Reagan is on the far end as a sheep.
