Our Marietta weekend kicked off by heading up to the Square on Thursday to wait for Santa to arrive....it was FREEZING and I was not prepared. We stayed long enough to listen to a few choirs sing and then to watch Santa arrive on the square but were on our way to ballet as soon as he finished driving by!
Sitting by the Christmas Tree on the square..
Run away toddler!
Jumping up and down waiting for Santa to arrive - we could hear the fire truck coming from the fire station and Ali, especially, was so excited!!
He made it!

Decorating a gingerbread house on Friday...
Ali was so proud of the gingerbread house and couldn't wait to eat it!
Yay for sugar!!

Ryan and I were on the host committee for the Marietta Pilgrimage preview party/Marietta 175th celebration party on Friday and we had so much fun! We went to a pre-party beforehand with friends and then caught a limo to the square for the celebration!! Thanks to Grandmommy and Granddaddy for babysitting for what turned out to be a late, fun night!!
We woke up on Saturday morning and headed to our church for the "Elf on the Shelf" production! The girls loved it and we got to sit at our table and have breakfast with Libby - an extra treat!

At the end of the show, Ali and Libby went up and walked around/sang the elves - in the back left hand corner...
Ryan and I went to an annual party that night at our friend's house where they fix us a delicious dinner and then we head to the Pilgrimage Candlelight tour and look at 3 of the beautiful houses. This year it was on Church Street & Cherokee Street - right by the square - and we were close enough from the host's home to even walk to the houses. We had a GREAT time with lots of fun friends and can't wait until next year - it is now one of my favorite Christmas traditions!

Ali proud of her very own tree she picked out for the playroom....she picked out everything for it and after we finished decorating it, she looked at it and said "Oh! It is beautiful!"
