Christmas card photo . . . . .!

Every year I wince at the thought of taking the Christmas card photo! Well, this year I sat the boys on stools in front of our ugly, Charlie Brown Christmas tree (we have decided starting next year we will get a real tree that doesn't have a 5 foot gap at the bottom)and got them prepped to take the photo. Inevitably, Tate started arching his back and throwing a fit because he wanted me to hold him. How did I get them to sit so nicely and take such a great photo you ask? Well, I sat them up and then had to leave the room, walk in casually, and then pretend to trip on my own feet and fall down! Oh boy did that work - they both laughed hysterically! Thus, is how the Duax's obtain such a cute Christmas card. :)



The final product!

Not so much!

Ty's smile is okay, but Tate...um, no!
