Christmas To Do List

As we anticipate the BIG Christmas day that is rapidly approaching, we have an unwritten Christmas List of traditions that we tend to follow every year. It usually goes like this:
Attempt to get a good picture for the Christmas card:
Take 1: "Alex stop making faces!"

Take 2: "Alex, again stop with the faces!"

Take 3: "Mackenzie sit still, and again Alex, SMILE!!!!"

Take 37: "Close enough...oops Chad, open your eyes!!!"

Take 77: "Forget it!"
