I hope you all have as wonderful a Christmas as I'm having - filled with lots of family, friends and fun (and a toy or two that you asked Santa for doesn't hurt either!)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Love,
Charlotte

Charlie, The #1 Quality Assurance Elf
Most of you might not know that I am Santa's #1 Quality Assurance Elf. Normally you'd find me in Santa's Workshop testing all of the toys to make sure they are fun before they end up in kids' homes. Last weekend, though, Santa sent me on a special mission. He sent me to a home in New Jersey to do in home toy testing. Avery and Evan have a lot of toys, and Santa wanted me to test them all for their fun factor. Santa expected a full fun report as soon as I returned.
This art table is great. I'm already feeling inspired to create something beautiful. The chair is comfortable, and the table has plenty of space for both Avery and I to be artistic.
Just look at this masterpiece. Only a very well constructed art table could be a Muse for art like this. I might have to put this drawing up for auction on Ebay.
This junior cornhole game is fantastic. The corn bags are the perfect size for small hands.
The junior Elmo version is just as fun as Daddy's cornhole game, and it's even more colorful. This one can be enjoyed indoors, too.
The xylophone that I bought for Evan provides hours of fun. I tested this one before we left on our trip to make sure he would like it. Luckily, there is no volume control - that means Mommy can't make it quieter. You can create music as loudly as you want!
The construction of this futon is superior. I folded it up over Avery, and it still sprang back to its bed position quickly.

This kitchen is one of the greatest toys I've ever tested. The only problem was that I wanted to play with it all by myself, but it soon attracted a crowd. You know what they say about too many cooks...OK, this is better. Let's check the microwave buttons to make sure they work properly.

Charlotte - 2, Santa Claus - 0
BEFORE SANTA
You're taking me to see that fat, furry red guy again, aren't you?
Stop smiling, Drew. This is serious. Mommy threw me on that so-called jolly guy's lap last week to try to get a photo. I showed her how I felt about that - I bawled my head off until she rescued me from him. And now I think she's going to torture me again - and for what?! A picture to send to all our family and friends?
What is Mommy trying to do? Butter me up by showing me this pretty tree? She knows I love trees, but this one isn't as nice as the one I decorated at home. Nice try, Mommy.
AFTER SANTA
If you look closely at my right eye, you'll see how well this second attempt with Santa went. I know he's supposed to be this great guy and bring me presents and all, but I'd rather he just leave the presents while I'm sleeping so I don't have to see him.
I feel much safer here. This is the Rudolph area of Santa's World. Just a sleigh, some fake trees and the misfit toys. This is more my style.

Mama - My World Premiere Video
Mommy says that I 'talk' alot, but I don't say too many actual words yet.
The following have been heard coming from my mouth:
Dada, Daddy, Nana, doggie, toga (don't ask!), Emmet! (everyone else yells his name, why shouldn't I?), Trixie (sounds more like "Tissie"), Dora and baby.
Did you notice that "Mommy" and "Mama" are nowhere on that list? I decided to make Mommy wait to hear me say her name (just like I made her wait for my arrival over 16 months ago - it's fun torturing Mommy!) Daddy finally convinced me recently to say it. Now I say it all the time. Take a look!
You'll have to excuse Mommy's amateur video skills. She's only beginning to use the digital camera as a video camera. She'll get better. Stay tuned for more videos starring ME!!!
I want to give a birthday "Shout Out" to my fellow Junior Pinks, Grace and Riley. My beautiful friends turn TWO today. I had SO much fun at your party on Saturday. Thanks so much for inviting me!!

It's A Hershey Chocolate World
Recently my good friends Grace and Riley called me up and asked if I wanted to go to Hershey's Chocolate World with them. Did I want to go to a place called 'Chocolate WORLD?!' Does Elmo laugh when he's tickled? Of course I wanted to go!
Before we got to the actual chocolate, we were mesmerized by the beautiful tree at the entrance. Why did they have to put that fence in front of it? I wanted to show the girls how well I hang ornaments. Aren't my girlfriends the cutest?!
OK, enough with the tree. Let's go find the chocolate.
30 million kisses in one day? Whew. Their lips must be sore!
They didn't put any safety belts in this ride. Think I could make the jump from here to that tray of Reese's?

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your necklace is so lovely. I think I'll put your necklace on right here.
This would look so much better wrapped around me.

Not sure what these are for, but I sure do love boxes. I'll stick around and help a little bit longer.
More boxes with shiny things in them. Is it my birthday?
Mommy let me hang the first ornament. I think I'll put this photo of Trixie right here. I hope Emmet isn't jealous that Trixie goes on first!
