My Little Elf

Despite the look on his face, Jacob LOVES this costume Grandma Debbie got for him!!! We have laughed so much but have tried to refrain from using the word "cute" when he's wearing it......he'll never step into it again if we do...........
....again, his look in no way resembles his feelings for this costume.......it's so hilarious!!!!!!

....end of photo shoot for Jacob!!!!! He continued to wear the suit for the rest of the evening......I sure do love this cute little elf of mine!!!!
