What it takes to get a good holiday card

Shameless bribing.

Me: "Girls, we need you to put on the pretty red dresses, go stand outside in the cold and smile. What will it take to get you to cooperate?

Girls, in unison: "Cake!"

Me: "Deal. What kind?"

Girls, not in unison: "Chocolate."

"No, I don't like chocolate. I want vanilla."

"No, not vanilla. At least chocolate icing"

etc., etc. etc.

Thus, two cakes - one chocolate, one vanilla with pink icing - both with lots of sprinkles - but we got smiles for the picture. I think we got off easy.
