Santa and his skydiving elves made a visit to Pik N Pig in Carthage on Saturday, taking photos and talking with kids.

The popular restaurant hosts the event each year for the community, and it was voted Best Santa Sighting in Moore County for the last two years.

The crowd of approximately 1,000 people were in awe of seeing the elves jump out of a plane. And moments later, the elves swooped down right above the crowds heads that drew excitement from the kids.

Santa had his own plane that arrived a few minutes after his elves were on the ground, and the kids quickly surrounded the plane to greet Santa.

After making his way through the crowd to a tent set up, Santa was able to take photos and talk with kids, many that eagerly waited in line.
