Tris POV

We finally made it to Macy's; Christina made us sing Christmas carols the whole half an hour car ride. It was now the last noel in my head.

"Alright, we have to find the underwear," Uriah said, "Pikachu really needs a new pair, after all the training classes I don't think that there is any hope helping him."

"Oh my goodness, you did not just say that you are potty training your turtle. Can we please worry about the kids first?" I said, I apparently was not sounding very amused.

"I think that would be best." Uriah said, knowing that I was right.

We made it to the toy section and all I could say that it looked like complete chaos. One lady was crying because she could not find her glasses and another two were fighting about baseball cards. If there was a hell, I was in it.

"Okay, team Christina needs a plan, we will all survive." Christina said, with her team work voice.

"Here's the idea, so we will have two groups, Tris and I, Lynn and Uriah."

"Why does it always turn out that I am stuck with this diphthong?" Lynn asked.

"Don't mess with Christina; this is going to be the best Christmas ever. Okay like I said, Uriah and Lynn are shopping for the boys, Tommy, Bailey and Spartacus. Tris and I will shop for everybody else including Annie, Natalie, and the rest of the pets, here are the lists guys, good luck, and we'll meet you here at like 8:30 just to make sure that everybody is still alive. Okay disperse!" with that, everybody was scrambling to get the things on their lists.

I know that Christina gave Lynn and Uri the easy part only three lists. As I was looking over mine I heard the laser of a toy gun go off and looked up to see Uri pointing it at Lynn. Before I could blink I saw a security guard, no more like a security bear, tackle Uriah and take the toy.

Christina was about to turn around but I just grabbed her hand and pusher her into the toy aisles.

MEANWHILE AT HOME

Four POV

Okay, it was time to change a diaper. I really should have been paying more attention to Tris when she showed me how to do this a million times each time that we brought home a new baby.

I got the old one off and the new one on, now all I had to do was clip the new one right. Okay, one side was way too loose but it would just have to wait until Tris got home. I smiled as I knew I was champion. I got ready to throw the diaper into the trashcan. I threw the perfect diaper just as Zeke walked in the door. Splat. Too bad that wasn't just a #1 diaper. Zeke threw it into the trash and was about to throw a punch when Annie walked in.

"Uncle Zeke, how many times have I told you not to try changing a diaper, just ask Aunt Marlene to do it?" Annie retorted

"Ask me to do what?" Marlene said as she walked in.

When she saw the scene play out she just sat down and started to laugh, I joined in and so did Annie, Will came to check it out and in five seconds after I told him what I did he was rolled over laughing. Zeke grunted and turned on the shower, and then we heard him slip,

"UGHHH." Was the only noise we heard from him for quite a long time.

Page break

"Bailey if you can please get in your pajamas we can bake cookies after and get you chocolate milk." I asked as I unfolded Bailey's Christmas pajamas.

"No, I will only put them on if Mommy sings the pj song." Bailey responded. Seems like his eyes weren't the only thing he got from Tris.

"I'll sing with you, "I said, knowing that it was hopeless.

"Okay try," Bailey said as his eyes lit up.

"PJ's are my life,

I love pj's

Footsie pajamas

You make me very happy,

Can we change now?"

I sang this to the tune of I have no idea.

"Nope," Bailey said, "But since you tried I will change.

Thank god, I hope Annie is easier.

Finally Annie was changed and Marlene was feeding Natalie a bottle. All of the dogs were asleep under the tree. We tried to get them on the towels we laid out but it was no use. Poor Itsy was lying on top of Spartacus because he was on her bed.

"Okay guys, it's cookie baking time." I yelled, trying to sound as excited as possible.

Marlene came in with Natalie who was still drinking her bottle.

"I will sit and watch since I am kind of busy right now." She shifted her arms, and Natalie threw up all over the place. I guess I should have told her she doesn't like sudden movement. Too late.

"All of the kids came running in and got on the stools Christina got them. I guess the preschool teacher is useful for something.

The mixing went well other than Tommy spilling milk all over the place. The turtles and dogs cleaned it up. As usual Spartacus got the most. That dog was scary; you would not want to cross paths with him.

"Okay children, go play and I will get you when the cookies are done which judging by the box means approximately 25 minutes." I said as I put the cookies in the oven.

I took the baby from Marlene and decided that it was Zeke's turn to do something; he had been sitting on the couch watching the football game like a lazy ogre.

"Here, it's your turn, she needs to be burped and then you can just let her sleep on your shoulder, oh and I hope that you don't need to go to the bathroom because once you fall asleep the slightest move will wake her up and you'll have to start the whole cycle all over again."

Zeke grunted like ogre that he is and went back to the game, patting the baby's back.

Then the smoke detector went off. Oh shoot, I completely forgot about the cookies.
