No more excuses of why I had not been updating my blog so often lately. Just being lazy I guess. ~_^Our  Christmas went well. We did not put the presents for the kids under the tree right away, it would be a disaster if we did? I wrapped everything up the night before Christmas Day, while John was busy assembling his gift (train track) for the boys in the great room where the Christmas Tree is.  Anyway, they usually get up early (Garin before 7am) But Christmas Day three of them were up way too early. I was still wanted to sleep more since John and I were up until 2am to watch a movie. But John was already up and downstairs taking video.  Being a Mom, I would not want in the world to missed the happy moment for them. I just wanted to see it myself how excited they were. The next thing I know I was holding the video while John were taking pictures.

Few days after Christmas, we had Garin's 3rd Birthday celebrated also. It was a small party, mostly adult. ~_^ Well, I have to admit, sometimes when there are lots of kids I indeed up very busy, I feel like I have to babysit every kids after the moms forgot that they have kid(s) with them. I just don't want them running around from the mean stairs to the other stairs, aside from my carpet uptairs got so dark from the shoes, I don't dont want them to break thier neck if they fall down. That's  why I am more comfortable if less kids, less busy and not too much mess. ~_^ But hey, don't get me wrong, I do love kids, I always have kids in the house no matter what anyway, since almost everyone has kids. ^_^

John decided to buy another train/space track for Garin's Birthday. It does glow in the dark, but the thing is, two tracks eat space in the basement. Asley in the picture. ~_^
