Toddler's 12 days of Christmas

Bryan and I had this great idea. We loaded the kids up in the car last night and went to look at Christmas lights. This has been a tradition since Bailey was born. Only this year, Luke is sick and Presley has an attitude. Luke was screaming the whole time because he just didn't feel good. Presley was screaming because she wanted her window rolled down and Bryan refused. (It was like 12 degrees outside!) Bailey and I switched seats because she was getting a migraine from sitting in between two screaming toddlers. Bry was frustrated because he was trying to drive with all of this going on. I sat there and just started laughing hysterically.

I love my life, as crazy as it is. I know that makes me a little crazy too but I wouldn't trade these times for anything! Anyway, as I sat there in the madness, a new version of The Twelve Days of Christmas came to me, so I thought I would share it.
Maybe I really have lost it. But it goes a little something like this...

My toddlers gave to me
A husband in a bad mood!
