Thursday was the first full day we spent at Pops and Pursons and we decided that we would go to the mall to see if there were any great deals. Of course, we ate lunch at Chick-fil-A (this is the home of the original Chick-fil-A) and then we walked around. The kids were perfect so we let them ride the indoor merry-g0-round.
For dinner we cooked hamburgers on the grill (John ate chicken) and then decided to go up to Lake Lanier Islands to see their Christmas lights display. It was amazing...6 miles of Christmas lights to drive through.
One of the neatest things we were able to see at Lake Lanier was the live nativity they had on the route. A local church manned the nativity (along with a hospitality tent with free hot chocolate) and you had to get out of the car in order to see it. It was not like our church's nativity a few weeks ago...this was a "move around and act it out" nativity. Visitors came and sat down on the benches and watched the 10-15 minute "show." Here is a picture and a few video clips follow:
