A new tradition...

Yesterday, my mom and I took Michael to Lenox Square Mall to see Santa and ride the Pink Pig. We had such a good time and decided that it's going to be our tradition each year. We discovered that the Pink Pig has been in Atlanta since 1953 and this was the first time that either of us had been to see it! Michael loved it!! :)
He also loved Santa. He even looked up at him as if he was telling him what he wanted for Christmas! He didn't exactly smile in the picture, but he was content. And Santa was so nice...he just made our day!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

So, I have always wanted my family to have matching monogrammed stockings hanging on the mantle. I think that's one of those little things that you dream about when you're a little girl. Is that normal? Anywho...now that we have Michael, I thought this was really important (haha!!). I had this idea in my head, but could never find exactly what I was looking for.

But, over the last couple of nights, I have slaved away at the sewing machine and created these little beauties...

Don't you just LOVE them?? I am so proud of myself. The next step is to get our names monogrammed on them. That might not happen before Christmas seeing how it is very last minute and those monogramming ladies are probably BOOKED!

I was just so excited that I had to come blog before going to bed...
I love this time of year...*smile*
