Elf Magic & Santa

After going back and forth on what role Santa would play in our house, we decided to go all in! T-lo "adopted" Thompson a magic elf. The company is called Elf Magic and they help you adopt an Elf. The best part of this story is how Jesus is the "best gift of all."
We visited with Jingle and Jangle Elf this week and they signed Thompson’s book. He enjoyed watching them and showing off his elf, Justin.
Friday, we went to see Santa in Smyrna. William brought Thompson to sit with Santa and Thompson started crying. I told him to ask Santa for toys for Christmas and his response was, "No toys, No Santa" What he meant was…I don't want to sit on Santa's lap for toys. Forget it.
So, we all got in the picture (even his elf, Justin):

Hi Mrs. Pierce,
No, its now a house you can rent out of teas, showers, etc from the city of Smyrna. Santa comes to that house every year too. Hope you are doing well. Love seeing your pictures on Miller's blog from Thanksgiving.
