ChRiStMaS EVE

This year since both of my brothers were celebrating Christmas Eve with their other halves, my mom and I decided to make our night more merry by hosting an open house after Christmas Eve mass! It was so fun having old friends and their families over, especially all the little kiddos! Jenny and I

HO HO HO

make new friends, but Keep the OLD

When I go back home there never seems to be enough time to see everyone in my TOO short visits!! I am so thankful that my friends understand that and love me enough to plan a get together so I can see everyone all at once! I am so blessed to have this group of high school friends in my life! Here's to 15 plus years of friendship and counting!

This year there was no L.O.V.E. for Santa Clause!

the PiNk PiG

The Pink Pig has been a popular Atlanta Christmas attraction since it first spun around the top of Rich's downtown store in 1953. In 1955, to take advantage of the popularity of the children's ride, Rich's moved The Pink Pink to the roof of the store, where it ran on a monorail and left the store through an opening that allowed kids an upclose view of the Great Tree, and circled the toy department inside. In 2003 the Pink Pig was updated and moved to a tent at the top deck of the Macy's parking garage. You board The Pink Pig and then it's off into a children's wonderland that includes the original Priscilla in a storybook setting. waiting in the long (about three hours) line with Carson and Cindy
We made it FINALLY!

Claire's Here!

Caroline is so lucky to have a Godmother willing to drive 4 hours just to see her for one quick night! AND of course I am a lucky lady to have such a wonderful Best Friend! We love you and are so glad we got to see you Claire!

Night on the T.O.W.N.

It was great to get to spend some time with my brothers and their other halves before the Holiday festivities got crazy! We went to dinner at this awesome Spanish tapas restaurant downtown (Eclipse de Luna) then on to an improve comedy show (Whole World Theatre), wrapped up the night with a few cocktails, AND then on to the RITZ CARLTON .....thanks Tommy for the early Christmas gift, we loved it!
