For anyone from Atlanta, Rich's Pink Pig may be a Christmas tradition. Grandpa and Neisy (Kyle's parents) remember riding the monorail around the toy department in the downtown Rich's department store. Kyle can remember riding it as a child as well. Last year, Kyle even took Miranda to ride the Pink Pig at Lenox Mall. Yes, it is just a small track with a kids' train painted pink, but it is tradition in Atlanta and for the Hortons. So, off to Atlanta went the Horton family for the triplets' first ride on the Pink Pig. The kids thought the pig was funny and the trip around the pig-themed tent was fantastic in their eyes. They also got to meet Santa at Lenox Square. He was wonderful - so soft spoken and he made sure to speak to each of them. Ellis had flatly refused to sit with Santa but as soon as he saw Lillie Ruth and Emme pile into his lap, he would not be left behind. Ellis asked for a bike and a truck, the girls for bikes and dolls. It was the beginning of a wonderful holiday season.
