Meet Charley

Charley is our Elf on the Shelf. Santa sent him to us a few days ago. He was on our front porch, so Payton and I got to open him together. I asked Payton what she wanted to name him. First she said “pppthhh” like with her mouth.. a weird sound. She kept saying that, I said “No, we can’t name him that.” Then, she said “Sydney” that is our neighbors little girl. I laughed and said “No.” Our friends Shada and Addisyn were over, and Shada suggested Charley. And I liked it. I asked Payton if she liked it and she got all excited and said “YEAH.” So, here he is…. “Charley” He flies all over our house!!! 

The first day we just let him sit on the edge of our bar. Payton wanted to touch him, and I think one time she did carry him for a minute until I noticed and told her no we can’t touch him.

So the second day he flew on our tree.

Payton thinks it is funny each day to see where he is. She laughs and says “Charley flew there”

The third night, he flew and sat on my candle decor thing.

And tonight, he flew to our light fixture in the kitchen. Isn’t he cute?

That’s all I have so far to report on Charley. If you don’t have an Elf on the Shelf, get one!! It is fun to do with the kids. I think next year will be more fun, because Payton will understand a little more.
