OH WOW!

"I ALWAYS WANTED THIS UNCLE DOO DOO!!!!!!!!" screams Daniel. It was one of those moments you wanted to film for youtube. Then I found out Andy DID film it.

THEN the assembly began! (Not like Joe hasn't assembled at least 100 of these after 3 boys) However, he did advise Laura to leave it assembled and put it in a huge trash bag to transport.




Aunt Cat and Uncle Paul sent the Magic Cupcake Baker to Alexis and Catie and of course, they HAD to bake right NOW! So adding to the Christmas mess was the scene below:

A Very Merry Christmas

The pictures will speak for themselves. We just had a wonderful Christmas! All was according to Chin tradition from the snacks on Christmas Eve, to the mountain of presents under the tree. We certainly missed our 3 Musketeers, who were not with us, but kept in touch with Cat and Joey constantly by phone and Karen was in our hearts. (I swear I heard her laughter a few times.)

It was a high-tech year with Mikey and his computer related recording stuff, Andy and his laptop and Catie with the Nintendo Wii. Everyone got in the act with the Wii and they played late into the night. Of course, Joe decided we need a bigger TV so he can put ours in the family room for the kids to play. Doesn't everyone need a huge one for the living room?

Even the dogs got multiple gifts and my bed is now filled with gnarly bones.
