Sophie the Elf

Our neighbor Sophie embarked on a fitness program more than a year ago and participates in every running event she can find on weekends.

Yesterday, it was the Jonesboro Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis.

Her sister told her everyone was going to run in costume, so Sophie bought an elf costume for the occasion.

But when she showed up to for the run yesterday morning, she discovered she was the only person in the crowd who was in costume.

Her 5-year-old son asked her if she was one of Santa’s elves and, of course, she said yes. And he believes her. What power!
