We thought about starting up the tradition of it last year when Target put the elf on sale and I walked around with it in my cart for about 30mins before I decided to put it back. I decided not to do it because we didn't do the whole santa thing with our kids and I didn't want to start something that I may quickly get tired of. I do love the creativity that goes into it and seeing my friends post pics of the things they get their elf into! -Breyona Sharpnack Savagesevenbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14306439510041824001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-76298956845943686962016-11-25T15:49:21.566-07:002016-11-25T15:49:21.566-07:00That is too funny when kids like the things we don...That is too funny when kids like the things we dont like.

I never grew up believing in Santa or the elves. In fact, it's odd because I tried to get my son to believe in Santa, but he is just like me. He doesn't believe in Santa existing or the Tooth Fairy, or in anything else. He sort of just picked it up on his own. However, it would've been nice to cherish moments like this with my child. <br /><br />http://adventuresofmsabby.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261502363997721426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-50753616366551083352015-12-03T13:02:26.652-07:002015-12-03T13:02:26.652-07:00Very cute about your daughter.Very cute about your daughter.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488832373580617482noreply@blogger.com
