They are so stressful! Last night Corey and I got the girls dolled up in their new Christmas dresses (handmade by a friend..thank you Connie!), put beautiful clips in their hair (also handmade by a friend..thank you Zoe). The scene was set. Picture two beautiful little girls in front of a perfectly glowing Christmas tree. All they have to do is sit sweetly in front of the tree and smile right?!
Well things just dont happen that easy around here. The meltdowns started fast and furious, boogers were running down small noses, and ornaments were getting tossed like Thanksgiving leftovers. To top it all off...I took about 30 pictures...after much jumping, singing and dancing (the only tricks I know to get my girls to smile for pictures.), and came out with not one good picture! NOT ONE!
I dont see why people do this to their kids anyway. I mean, life is not a perfectly posed photo in front of a tree. Life IS boogers, tantrums and beautiful, antsy children... at least ours is.
We are going to try one more time tonight, and if it doesnt go well... then prepare yourself for a Christmas card with beautiful girls, a fancy tree...and some boogers and tears!

Kids and bonfires...an entertaining combination!

Emily is a Carousal pro...I on the other hand have a hard time with the spinning.
