Santa & The Pink Pig....

Yes, I know.....it's not even Thanksgiving yet! But, we learned last year that if you go before Thanksgiving there is no line!!! This works out great with the girls being so young. We were the only ones on the Pink Pig, and we walked right up to Santa with absolutely no wait! Another positive about going early, you can do extra pictures you wouldn't get to do if it was crowded. Like a photo in front of the Pink Pig train!

Sydney: Loved Santa. She could really care less and did cooperate for a cute picture. Santa actually held her for a little bit talking about how cute she was. He said he would enjoy holding her this year, next year she will probably not even look at him! haha She was ok with the Pink Pig too. She was not allowed to sit in my lap and had to sit in the seat beside me. That was interesting considering she doesn't sit up yet, but I was determined for her to ride for her First Christmas.

Rylynne: Did not like Santa. Would not even consider smiling for a picture. She did finally give him five. He tried to convince her to just stand beside him, but she was holding on tight to Shawna. We were not about to force her. She did agree to sit in Shawna's lap beside Santa. So we have a family Santa photo this year! The Pink Pig: I had that feeling that this would not be the year for Rylynne & Santa. I told Shawna her excitement would be the Pink Pig. I was right, she was so excited when she saw it! BUT, when we got on and started moving...things changed! She started crying! We couldn't believe it. Then Shawna and I started making "choo-choo" noises (she LOVES trains!). When we started doing that, she got a big smile on her face. She decided it was fun after all! haha I guess you just never know with her age now.
