Christmas Chaos

What's a Christmas celebration with children without a little chaos when the gift unwrapping begins?

-Evan, no, that's Landon's present!
-Evan, don't take the ornaments off the tree!
-Evan, look at the camera and smile! No, don't run away!
-Dan, wake up!
-Uh oh, where's Evan?

We got together with the O'Neil-Bailey family the week before Christmas, and had a fabulous celebration with yummy food (Mis - I need that chicken soup recipe, and Fran - anytime you want to bring the peppermint cheesecake I'm there!). Here are a few shots from the festivities.

Unwrapping is a Team Sport

Evan is no match for Aunt Mis, child wrangler.

I look forward to this age when they will smile when you ask - most of the time.

It's not all fun and games. Someone has to do dishes. What do you mean, help? Taking pictures is helping, right?

What, giving 'the look' isn't helpful?
