Backtracking.

This is a sweet picture I took on Christmas Eve.

I love it so much, I just felt like I had to share.

Everyone looks so happy- no fake smiles -

anticipating what Christmas Morning will bring.

Shortly after the sweet picture was taken, the little kids went to bed. Eli, Annie and Michelle were hanging out in the living room. I went into the bedroom to finish wrapping a couple of gifts.

So, I was carrying a few empty wrapping paper rolls to the kitchen -

who could have known what would happen.....

Michelle attacked Eli.

She whipped him.

He cried like a girl.

Then, she used her strength and unleashed on Annie and Eli at the same time.

Annie cried like a little boy.



When Eli crawled back on the couch for safety, and Annie was secure hiding in the corner, Dave decided it was a fine time to join in.

And the Ultimate Wrapping Paper Warrior was born.

*** Events in this story may or may not be true. I ran.

What I do know is that four big people in my house battled on Christmas Eve.

It was awesomely funny.
