My Christmas Gift

Getting a picture of my two babies, together smiling has been a huge challenge this year. They are finally at an age where they will smile when asked, but between camera malfunctions and short attention spans, my success rate has been unimpressive.

I can almost always get one child to cooperate (usually Norah).

Norah tries to drag Justin into the frame.

Justin is usually less than cooperative and spends his time trying to get away or making faces.

Then he pretends to be a puppy, making his sister giggle, and hiding his face.

When he finally looks up and smiles, Norah has given up and gives an exasperated look
(Am I or Justin the cause of her exasperation?).

Norah employs a firmer, but unsuccessful strategy.

"I just can't work with him!"

Justin yells "Cheese!"

No, that's not a fist.

Finally. Thank the Lord.
Merry Christmas to me.
