Santa....Is he real?

This year was the year Max was questioning if Santa was real....After the Elf on a Shelf tradition he still believes. Usually we go to Bass Pro Shop in Mesa to see Santa and he looks genuine, sings songs and we "think" he is actually the real Santa. However, we are in the Northwest now, and you have to travel if you want to get the elaborate Santa display and classic pictures. This year we opted for Santa at our Church ward party....though we appreciated it, it just wasn't the same. Max told me he "knew" that this guy was just a helper because he could tell he had a fake beard. Guess next year we will just make the trip to cabelas about 30-40 minutes away, it is worth it! I have also included a picture of our Elf on the shelf named "Jingle" The picture is of Jingle the next morning he was caught eating toffee and made flour footprints everywhere....Guess even elves can be naughty!(Jason's idea) And the mustache was something Max did while in the bathroom...I think he aspires to have his Dad's facial hair. haha!
