Soren got to join the sleepover festivities, this year, and was very excited about it, and was surprisingly the first one to go to sleep. The older kids had a tough time sleeping this year and we still had a couple awake (and squabbling) at midnight. We threatened to end the tradition and they went to sleep.
Like a cruel joke, they took turns waking up during the night and everyone was up and at em and cranky at 5:01am. After the 2nd overtired sibling argument broke out, I laid down mom law and sent everyone to their bedrooms until 7am. They were all very cheerful after that and we had a wonderful Christmas Eve. The tradition of the sleepless sleepover lives on, and as always, it was totally worth it. Look at those dreamy angel faces.
