Two weeks ago we went to the Graceland Christmas lighting ceremony again. I am sad we didn't do this every year we were here but we got to go twice. We weren't sure if we were going to make it on time or before everything happened since Friday is usually one of Andrew's latest days of the week but he managed to escape early and we made it ten minutes early. We started off by visiting with Sister Gaw who is in our ward, she has worked there for over 30 years and Loves Elvis! She was helping kids write letters to Santa and make hats, just like last year!
We went outside and waited a few minutes and they had another American Idol finalist sing, one that is from Mississippi and then she and some kids from St. Jude's Hospital turn on the lights at the Mansion. Then Santa came down from the house in a limo. He then came in and we had luckily ran and got in line, we remembered from last year how long and awful it was so we hustled to make it.
The best part of this is definitely Rock and Roll Santa Claus. He came in saying Hunk-a Hunk-a Ho Ho Ho, only at Graceland, ha ha! Easton wasn't to sure but he sat there and didn't cry and Ella was all game and told him what she wanted, Ariel! I don't know if he even had any idea who Ariel was he seemed confused! It was a fun night!
