Cheerful Morning

The kids and I had a fun time together one morning before and during breakfast (not that that's a rare occurrence) so I thought I'd take some pictures...

Alex always cracks me up when he's mugging for the camera. He'll try to squeeze his eyes shut tight with a wide grin and I have to tell him to smile nice. Or he'll get right up into the camera lens and say, "Cheese! I wanna see, Mommy."

And of course, Elise follows suit. She was laughing so hard and I could hardly get a clear picture because I was laughing too. It took me several tries.

Still laughing...

But she took a breath long enough for me to snap a quick, bright-eyed shot.
