Stone Mountain Christmas

The day after Thanksgiving we braved the crowds (not at the mall) and went to Stone Mountain for their Christmas celebration.

Here is Ella waiting for one of the first shows that we went to.

She even got to participate in the show by ringing the sleigh bells.

and watched many performances, including one about the Misfit Toys.

The lights on all of the trees and buildings are AMAZING!!  I can’t imagine how long it must take them to put all of those lights up.

Then we went and warmed up a bit in the Great Barn.

Finally, we found a spot to wait for the Snow Angel to fly down.

She flew down right over our heads, and she brought snow!!
