Southern Christmas Show

My mom came into town to visit with us Sunday through Tuesday, and Monday we ventured out with Ellison to the Southern Christmas Show. I had never been before, but had heard good things about it. I figured Monday would be a good day to go,thinking it wouldn't be so crowded. Wrong! Hello, Veterans Day crowd. It was insane! So, so busy! Other than the mass of bodies, we had a good time. There were TONS of vendors. Tons! We were there fit about 4 hours and definitely didn't see everything. We got a handful of goodies and Ellison was a champ. She was so patient and well behaved! She really loved looking at all the lights and decorations! I think I'd definitely go back, but maybe without baby in tow. The stroller was a little hard to maneuver through the crowd and we couldn't easily move through some of the booths. Side note - if you're planning to go, valet parking is worth every penny!! We pulled right to the front door, and when we left we had help putting our bags and the stroller back in the car. If we'd parked ourselves, it probably would've taken 20 minutes just to walk to and from our car. Here are some of the goodies we found...minus a few gifts for some friends and family. :-)
