Charlie

This is Charlie's story:

Once upon a time there was a girl who loved being with family on holidays. She was married to a very smart man who got into grad school what seemed like a million miles away from everyone they knew and loved. As they were packing things to go to this far off land, they had to leave many things behind in storage at her parent's house. As they were packing, her mother gave her a cute little wooden turkey that the crafty lady had made so the girl could use it to decorate for Thanksgiving and it could remind her of her family far far away. Thanksgiving came around, and the girl totally forgot to put the turkey out. She found it the next day when she was getting out the Christmas decorations. She was very disappointed, so her husband suggested that they leave the turkey out year round and decorate him for each holiday. The girl thought this was a great idea, so they discussed a name. After much discussion, he was named "Charlie." He is now Charlie the Holiday Turkey.

And that is how Charlie came to be. The holidays were so crazy with our trip, that he just had a simple red bow around his neck for Christmastime, but we had fun decorating him for Valentine's this week! :)

I came up with the heart idea. Mike insisted he have a headband with a heart on it and also came up with his heart mohawk in the back. I think he turned out pretty great!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
