Charlie

An elf came to live with us for most of December!  The kids named him Charlie and every night Charlie went home to the North Pole, then returned to us each morning.  When he arrived back at our house, he landed in a new spot.  When Abbie and Nate woke up each day, they ran to the living room to find Charlie.  They talked to Charlie, told him the things that were on their Christmas lists, and Charlie monitored their good deeds (and the not so nice ones too...).  We loved Charlie.  Now he is home at the North Pole with his other elf buddies and Santa Claus.  But we're hoping that he'll return to us again next year before Christmas.  Here are a couple of pictures from some of the more interesting places at which Charlie landed:
