Actually, I don't really. I am probably the laziest mother of four who ever lived. I'm cool with that. It saves me from having to drive kids to things like soccer practice. Anyway, we have been enjoying our very relaxed and lazy break. Having traveled to the wonderful Fachini family Thanksgiving in Georgia, we spent Christmas here in town. Christmas Eve was spent with my family of origin as is the tradition, although it was my sister's year to spend Christmas with her husband's family, so we did miss them. All I had to cook was homemade mac and cheese for the kids, and my first ever from-scratch cheesecake, which turned out beautifully if I do say so myself. I'm planning to eat the last of it in a little while, if you must know. And no, you can't have any.
The kids got some good loot, and then we came home for our annual viewing of It's a Wonderful Life and then off to bed so Santa could come. He brought more loot. Imagine that! The kids seemed very happy as Santa had answered their main wishes: for Calvin, a cell phone; for Joshua, a tribot; and for Somerset, a bike. Genevieve had no real requests so she got a Little People farm, which she could not care less about. That's okay though, as she is busy caring for the four or five baby dolls she received from various parties.
Tomorrow we plan to ring in the new year with a few of our closest friends. I love New Year's Eve, which puts me in the minority around here, but I will save that discussion for another post. Meanwhile, here are some pictures!
Cousin Kyle got an American bulldog puppy for Christmas. Even though I do not like dogs and do not in anyway understand the desire to own a pet, she was sort of sweet in a puppy kind of way. For a couple of hours.
Somerset about to dive in at the grandparents'.
Genevieve enjoying many of her gifts simultaneously. (Some of them were hair accessories. Can you tell?)
Calvin checking out his new phone Christmas morning.
Smiley Christmas morning Calvin.
Christmas morning extravaganza!

Aw, it looks perfect! Your kids are all so gorgeous, you know that?
Harper got that farm. She loves it. Lamb. Lamb. Lamb. Lamb. Lamb. Lamb. Lamb.
AND I had Monkey Bread for the first time ever on Christmas morning too!
What a celebration! I'm glad you all had a great holiday! Happy New Year!
Ella has no desire to play with babydolls. That may change when she discovers they can also be used as a blunt instrument to inflict trauma upon her brother's cranium. But for now, she would much rather eat a book.

There have were times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I begin to get real money.
It gets down to choose a correct partner who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the profit with me.
You can get interested, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
