To be really honest Harrison couldn't have cared any less about the Pink Pig - I mean seriously as we (yes we... if the kids are under 36 inches then someone has to ride with them - and since Harrison is 2 inches short... I got to ride too) were riding around and around I was trying to get him excited... and he just kinda sat there..... like he was bored! Sheesh kid - don't you know you're riding the PINK PIG - an Atlanta tradition?!?! Anyway - after the pig - we headed across the street to Phipps - and since we had a little time to spare Harrison and G rode the escalators (soo cute)- and let me assure you... Harrison was WAY more excited about the escalators than the Pink Pig!
Uncle Bailey was also in charge of the diaper bag - I mean big boy bag I love this picture!!
So then off to Santa we went... I will admit - I was REALLY nervous about Harrison and Santa! I had visions of Harrison screaming bloody murder - or pulling Santa's beard or something really horrible... but it really wasn't bad at all!! (There are big signs everywhere that say "No Flash Photography" around Santa - so we didn't get any pictures... but I'll try to scan in the pictures we bought as soon as I get a chance) We put Harrison on Santa's lap - and they took the picture right away... Harrison looks confused more than anything so it wasn't too bad! Then Santa started talking to him... and therein lies the problem! Rather than screaming - Harrison just kinda lifted his arms over his head and melted off Santa's lap!!! HAHA! Thank goodness Corey was on his toes... he ran over knelled down beside Santa - and Harrison sat on Dad's knee while Santa finished his conversation!! We have a video.... it's adorable!!! :) After the visit was over Harrison got a candy cane... and I'm not kidding... before we ever got our food at dinner he had eaten through the plastic to get to the candy cane!! HAHA!
I just had to throw this picture in - doesn't he look like the kid in that commercial!! HAHA!
Enough about Friday night.... :)Saturday morning Mr. Garner surprised us all with a trip to the Dillard house (yes the Dillard house up in Rabun County - North GA) for breakfast!!! If you haven't ever been to the Dillard house for breakfast - you should!! It's kinda like Maggiano family style meals... you sit down and they just put loads of really good food in front of you... and you eat to your little hearts content!! GLORIOUS!!!
Behind the restaurant - there's a little petting zoo for the kids... Harrison got to see horses, a big bull, goats, chickens, a little piggie, and even a lama!!!
On the way home from the Dillard house - we stopped at this place in Tiger, GA called "Goats on the Roof" - and yes - there were actually goats on the roof!! Harrison didn't really care about the goats and the roof thing... however one of the shops sold Amish furniture - and there was this really awesome highchair/rocking horse/desk - all in one - that Harrison LOVED!! He literally rocked on that thing for like 10 minutes!!!!
There was ONE more stop on our way home - and that was the mall - Discover Mill! We all spent a lot of time at the Bass Pro fish tank - and then Harrison got some special play time for being so good all day!!! What a wonderful day!!
Please check out the albino catfish - eww!!!
Finally - on Sunday we did a little Christmas decorating around Mimi & G's house before heading to Corey's grandparent's house for Thanksgiving #2... Please note the same outfit... you better bet I'm getting as many wears as I can out of that t-shirt!! :) How often do you get to wear a shirt that says little turkey?!?! :) haha! Anyway - Thanksgiving dinner was great! Harrison spent most of this time hanging out with Corey's cousin Victoria although he did save some time for a little play time with G and peek-a-boo with Mimi!! :)

Hey Katie Thanks so much much for that frame! It's so cute!! I put the baby's sonogram pic in there. You and I have the same great taste. Thanks again and I can't wait to post pics of this weekend. Harrison is precious!
