Northpark or The North Pole?

I took my little elves to Northpark yesterday with Nonnie and Pops. I wanted their picture with Santa in their PJs. You would have thought we were trying to see Santa at the North Pole. 300 tickets were passed out before 11:30 and we were told to come back at 7pm for the evening tickets. We passed on that option, but did have so much fun doing some other things there.

Abby liked wearing her PJs so much, we decided to let both the girls wear them the rest of the trip. It was hilarious. Pops took Abby through the Ronald McDonald miniature train exhibit. The nice lady taking tickets let me go in for a minute to snap some pictures.

Abby was in awe. She didn't know what to think of so many trains.
The Thomas train was her favorite. Pops had to bribe her to leave with promises to go see the ducks and turtles in the fountain.

While they saw the trains, Nonnie and I took Caroline shopping. We took a stroll through Neiman Marcus.

She grabs at everything now. But, who wouldn't want to grab all the fun things in Neiman's?

"Now that I've been introduced to stuffed animals, I'll take all of these."

Abby threw pennies in the fountain.

A big wave across the fountain from the head elf.

This man was playing Christmas carols. Abby was not shy. She walked right up to the front and joined in the singing.
