brothers

i just have to show you the not-yet-edited photos i took of the boys the other night.

they were dressed up for their school christmas production. harrison was asked to wear pajamas. graham was given the option to be an angel or an animal. he chose to be a bunny.

bless him.

the following images will give you some insight into the picture-taking portion of my life.

you should be aware that the only reason they smiled and put their arms around each other was because i told them they would not get christmas presents unless they let me get one good photo.

and when that didn't work i told them i would go get out the "ouchie spoon" and swat their bottoms.

sometimes a mother must threaten her children in order to get them to smile.

am i right or am i right?

without further ado...



he threats worked for one photo...



then came the bunny ears on top of bunny ears...



then things started to get silly...





and a bit sillier...






when the cottontail wiggling and pulling grew boring they went for the ubiquitous cross-eyed shot...



and finally ended with a good one.

but really they're all pretty stinkin cute, aren't they?!!

p.s. thank you to my sweet friend debbie who let me borrow back the bunny ears and tail i gifted her last easter so graham could be the christmas bunny.
