This Is Why I Don't Have Christmas Cards Made Yet

The Internet is full of beautiful photographs of kids gazing perfectly at the camera making the most adorable happy faces ever. I would just like to take a moment to point out that for every perfect photo that exists, there are several that are ... well ... not so perfect.

There is the constant challenge of getting both kids to look at the camera, for example.

Or even just one kid.

There is the constant fight to get the baby to stop putting things in her mouth.

Times five bajillion.

Did I say five bajillion? I meant six. SIX BAJILLION TIMES WITH THE "STOP EATING THAT, MILA."

You have to chase the dog to another room.

Then you have to tell one of the kids to quit making faces.

Then you realize nobody cares about what you have to say anyway.

So you give up.

Or something.

'Tis The Season
