Ernie the (NAUGHTY) Elf

We have had Ernie the Elf sitting in our barn for the last 6 years.  Why I decided to bring him out now, I don't know but, I'm sure he will be lots of fun.  I'm sure you have all heard of the Elf of the Shelf and ours is a little different.  Since our kids are a little more mature than when you would  normally start using the Elf, we have dubbed him the NAUGHY elf.  Here are some of Ernie's antics.  I will post his nighttime naughties in one week increments.  Week One:

Helping decorate the Tree, he thought it was a little bare-tee hee.

Playing with the best winter beverage of all, hot cocoa.

Looking angelic until. . .

. . .we found this on the mirror "Elves Rule, Reindeer drool!

A little reminder for the boys.

Eating all of dad's pistachios, bad elf!

Ernie disappeard one night, this is the note he left. . .

. . .this is where we found him!

Chef Ernie made a menu for us, yummy!!!

Stay tuned for the next week of "Ernie's Antics".
