Ernie's Last Days

The tail end of the adventure for another year. 

Ernie decided to give the boys an early Christmas gift. . .

I thought it was hilarious, the boys just shook their heads (but they smiled a little, too)!

Ernie erected a shrine to his antics from last year.

This year Ernie trapped the boys in their rooms with wrapping paper, epic!!!

They had to bust their way out on Christmas morning, ha, ha--I could hear when they got up!

Once again, Ernie ends the year by reminding us what Christmas is all about.

Here are some jokes he did that I didn't get photos of this year:  Hiding in Brigham's snow boots (gross!!); Having an all night Christmas movie marathon without us; squashing himself into an ornament so he could be a part of our tree decorations.  Hiding the Baby Jesus (each year we do an activity about the wise men and how wise men still seek for Jesus--after a spiritual video and scripture, we take turns hiding the Baby Jesus and everyone else has to seek to find Him--Ernie felt left out so he hid the Baby Jesus while we were asleep, it took the boys a while to find it).

Ernie has to go away for another year, but I think he is already planning for some hijinks next year, don't count him out, he has lots of tricks up his sleeve!!!  Bye, Ernie!
