and this is what you get.

tell your children “i’m going to take AWAY one stinkin’ present if you don’t give me a “oh swear word” smile”…
and this is what you get.

finally just give up and let them get in the clothes they want to be in and beg them to just sit for a second so you can get just ONE picture…
and this is what you get.
(i have no idea what they were saying at the time the picture was taken but i have a sneaky suspicion that it had to do something with “eat snow”.)

Merry Christmas
from our train wreck to yours.
we’ll talk soon.
