'Twas the night before Christmas ...
For Christmas Eve we spend the night at Grandma & Grandpa's house with all the cousins. We have done this 3 or 4 times and the kids love it. We love this time even though we don't end up with much sleep. Here are the kids in their new PJ's.
*Megan, Tyler, Jenna, Ian, Brandon, Mya is in bed*
To help us remember what Christmas is all about, we watch Luke 2. It was also a great way to help settle them down to go to bed. Although not much can help when you know what is coming the next morning.
I think Tyler had it the worst. He was up 5-6 times. In the end I think Justin and I ended up with 3 hours sleep. Of course it's only one night and it's just as exciting for us!! Our family stayed in the big bedroom in the basement, so each time the kids had to get up to go to the bathroom, we had to shield their view of the tree, so they couldn't see anything until everyone was awake and ready. It was pure torture!!!
