It started out good. They love candy canes and had seen their cousins pictures with candy canes so they wanted to do them too.
But I should have seen how it was heading. They wanted to know why the hats had balls on them. Rule #1 - Never let them get distracted. Luckily I nipped this distraction before it got started too much.
Abigail does a great job of trying to get her brother to cooperate. Anything to make him laugh usually works, but if he gets focused (fixated) on something (an idea,whatever) then it can be a tough go of it.
Come on Caleb..you can smile for Mom"..
Maybe if I keep this look on my face, she'll finally give in...
Ahhh...I see a little smile trying to sneak out...
Maybe this will work...a little lick
yeah, that worked!
a little laughter goes along way... (what you can't tell from the photo is that it's fake laughing, at least Calebs is)
Get back here...I'll lick you again
Ewww...yuck...gotta wipe the slobers off
hmmph...that didn't work
are you done yet Mom???!!! (at this point they usually get the "smile for the camera, act happy, laugh, or......) I haven't figured out "or" yet. :)
ok...let's get this over with...she's not going to stop
cheesy smiles
whew..that was hard work
lets try bigger smiles and see if she likes that
full out open mouth smile HAS to do the trick
alright guys...that's a little too much don't you think?
So basically, line them up and snap away. You're bound to come up with something. :)
