Fun Friday Christmas Field Trip

Being that all of our shopping and wrapping was done and the house was all clean, we decided to venture out today to enjoy some of the Christmas festivities. I thought the kids would enjoy riding the light rail uptown and other than being super crowded, it was indeed a lot of fun!

Riding uptown on the "choo choo train"

Our first stop was to see the singing bear performance at Founders Hall.

Savannah enjoyed watching most of the bears' show, but Preston just kept saying something about cocoa bear and high five. Anyway, we didn't quite make it through the entire performance, but enjoyed quite a few songs by these bears that sing and play instruments!

Our next stop was the Ritz Carlton, where they have this huge all organic gingerbread house.

We had a fun morning out, but it was definitely time for lunch and naps by the time we made it back to our car. I'm hoping that we can visit one more place this afternoon after nap time . . .

Our final stop today was the Ballantyne Resort's Gingerbread house display. It was awesome, probably my favorite part of the day. They had 2 halls full of entries into the gingerbread house contest and some of them were just amazing! Both kids had a fun day (which was apparent by screaming with excitement as soon as daddy showed up to tell him the details), but the funny part is that their response to "what was your favorite partof the day?" was "riding the choo choo train."
