Christmas photos are any mom’s nightmare.
Especially when they have to be done within 15 minutes, and there is a 5,3, and 1 year old in the mix.
I finally got something I could work with, but it was painful.
For all involved.
Especially my assistant — Patty Poo.

THE MOOD CATCHER
This picture captures the mood — Dash running off with a devious smile, Navy doing something slightly off, like standing on her “tippy toes” after I asked everyone to stand nicely, and Scout trying to be really good (but laughing at Dash) because he knows I meant business.

But then there was a little cooperation.

And we finally ended up with this beauty.
So what if Dash is sucking Navy’s brain out with his hand.
Until next year.
Kids, it will be 364 days until you see “that” mommy again.
If only these pictures could talk.
I might be running from the law myself.
