The Disclaimer at the bottom that is oh so small says: Duct tape was not actually used.
I put it there just so some people wouldn't get all worked up thinking I taped my kid's mouths up. Photoshop does wonders.
The back is what took me FOREVER! My husband and I wrote things over and over again. It's not perfect, but it's good enough! My co-worker was laughing at me because I had a lady that was Jewish proofing it. She didn't care! Here's what we came up with:
Silent Night
Silent night, colorful night
Isaak draws on the floor so bright
Brothers wrestling ever so wild
Mom and Dad try to keep things mild
Brush their teeth, off to bed
We tuck them in and kiss their heads
Silent night, surprises in sight
A train station trip in the dark night
Glory streams from Chicago afar
We tour the city without a car
Tickets were lost; Daddy was scorned
Eager to leave honked the train horn
Silent night, beautiful night
The boys color without a fight
Mica draws each president’s face
Isaak glues objects on a wooden base
Such a delight for creative minds
The fridge is covered with vibrant designs
Happy Holidays
Travis, Alissa, Mica and Isaak Apel
