"OK, we're ready for you guys!"

HUBS & CATHY, talking over one another: Alrighty, Stepdaughter, just sit here on the piano bench in front of the Christmas tree. Stepson, sit next to her. Tootie, stand in front them. OK, let's put E-man in Stepson's lap.

E-MAN: Waaaaah! Waaaaah! Waaaaaaah!

HUBS: What's wrong with him? Hey, buddy! Look at Daddy! Give Daddy a big smile.

E-MAN: No! Waaaah! I no like this shirt. Waaaah!

CATHY: As soon as we're done, you can take it off.

E-MAN: Waaaaaah! I NO LIKE IT! I NO LIKE THIS SHIRT!

HUBS to CATHY: What's up with the shirt?

CATHY: He recently decided that he hates button-downs.

HUBS: Hey, E! Just a few pictures and you can take it off, OK?

CATHY: Tootie, quit looking at E-man. Look at Daddy. Look at him! Daddy! OK, now smile at Daddy!

E-MAN: Waaah! Waaaah!

Behold, this year's photo for the Christmas cards:

Hate to laugh at your expense, but that is funny. Classic funny! Don't you just love the little dickens?

Ha.Ha. How typical. E looks so distressed. The older kids look awesome! Tootie looks like she thinking " Adults! So strange."

awe, sweet babies.

My son despises overalls...who knew toddlers could be so into what they wear or don't wear.

Great pic, so will it be on the christmas card? I think it would be hilarious!

First of all - ALL the kids are beautiful! The photo is adorable, even if e-man is totally ticked off.

It's a great picture - you have beautiful kids! It reminds me of the same sort of pictures with my 4 - Alexis can not take a group picture without crying - those, honestly, are some of my favorite. Take care. Kellan

We always bribed them - well, actually, we still do... with candy. God bless those people at Hersheys, man!
