Thankfully, the rest of the night went off without a hitch, and everyone was in bed by ten.  Nearly everyone was out of bed by six am the next morning.  With the exception of the babies.  Everyone was either packing up, getting little kids ready to go, or cooking breakfast.

“Oreun!”

Oreun had figured out how to walk nearly overnight.  Now she was waddling around the house.  And Yoongi had just realized she wasn’t in the bedroom anymore.

“Oreun!”

She’d made it all the way to the living room by the time Yoongi had caught up with her.  She had plopped her bottom down onto the ground and was grinning up at Yoongi when he entered the living room.

“Listen, you little goose.” Yoongi scooped her up off the floor. “I don’t have time to chase you around this entire house.  I have to finish packing before breakfast is ready so we can leave.”

Oreun simply continued grinning up at him before babbling happily and clapping.  Yoongi sighed and shook his head before smiling and walking back to his bedroom.

Hobi was having a similar problem with the triplets.  But his problem was slightly worse.  He and Ireun hadn’t gotten anything packed the previous night, and Xun and Tae had already put their playpen in their car the night before, so Hobi and Ireun had nowhere to put their three bouncy babies. 

“Hojin!  What are you doing?” Hobi asked in a slightly higher pitched voice than he usually spoke in.

The little baby looked up at his dad with two big, brown eyes. “Ba!” he exclaimed.

“Oh, yeah?  Are you having fun?” Hobi asked.

Hojin began babbling again.  When he was done, Hobi spoke again.

“We need to go back to Eomma and your brothers so we can finish packing; how does that sound?”

Hojin just stared up at Hobi.

“I’ll take that as an ‘ok,’” Hobi muttered before scooping Hojin up off the floor and walking back to the bedroom.

Hojin didn’t complain when he was set on the bed with his two other brothers, so Hobi went back to packing.  But not even a minute later, Hyungmin was trying to climb off the bed.  Hobi sighed and picked him and Hojin up.

“Ireun, you can handle Hyunjun by yourself for a few minutes, right?  I’m gonna go see if anyone is willing to watch these three.”

Ireun laughed and nodded.

Thankfully, Miyun, Yumi, and Yeongjin were all willing to hold a baby while Hobi and Ireun finished packing, so they were done by the time breakfast was ready.

Mostly everyone left around seven, and Jin and Aeja began cleaning up their house.  They didn’t need to have more guests for a while.  Yesterday had been a Christmas Chaos.
