Charlie is back!

This is the second year that Charlie has visited us from the North Pole. Last year J really got excited about seeing Charlie everyday and told everyone that you can't touch him or he'll lose his magic. She was super excited to find him on our Christmas tree the other morning! Since both of mine are still really small (and I don't trust them!) Charlie tends to find spot that are out of reach of little hands! Thanks goodness Charlie is not a naughty elf, nor is he messy. I don't need anything else to clean up after. The girls are too young to completely understand any mischeivious deeds. They get more enjoyment out of seeing Charlie doing things that they enjoy doing. The first morning he arrived in our Christmas tree with a note from Santa.
The next morning he appeared in the refridgerator. Every morning, that's the first place the girls go....to get their milk cups. Charlie was waiting on them in there. It was really hot and muggy here in south Arkansas the day before, so Charlie was way out of his element. Guess the cold made him feel more at home.
Charlie chose to hang out with the K-cups the next morning. I was up with a sick Savannah, so I'm glad Charlie was offering my favorite...Pumpkin Spice!
The next morning Charlie came bearing a gift! Last year we used our TiVo Roamio DVR to record the Elf Story and watched it daily. I have yet to be able to find it in the TV listing this season. Charlie must've known how much Jillian enjoyed his movie because he brought her the DVD so she can watch any time she wants to! Thanks Charlie. We've watched it twice daily since you brought it.
The next morning, I woke in a panic! Since I'd been up with Savannah so many nights, I fell asleep with the girls. I was completely suprised to find Charlie on the sign hanging above the mantle. Elf magic at work!
Jilli looks forward to seeing where Charlie decides to land each morning. Stay tuned to see where Charlie ends up next!
