amy g. Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 My three year old, and newborn are asleep. My 13 year old is in bed. My 15 year old is still feeding goat baby bottles. My 11 year old is wrapping presents for me. I'm pretty sleepy myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Yep. That's why I'm still up. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babysparkler Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Yes, two of mine can't sleep either :) but that is okay since I am planning on waiting up anyway for Dh who should be home from work around 1:30am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Our two went to bed near 10pm, but 8 yo dd was just up at 12:30am, saying her "tummy hurt". She *snuck* out here. Hoping she didn't see too much, but there is only so much mom & dad can do if one is bound and determined to see something :glare:. Lets just say we'll be tired tomorrow :D.

Chris in VA Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I just finished wrapping stocking stuffers and some presents. Dh is at the late service and should be pulling in any time now. Ds have both gone to bed, and dd9 was in bed almost 4 hours ago! We give them their stockings in bed so they can have something to do until about 8:30 or so in the am! Here's to a happy, sweet Christmas for everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinning Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Five yo is still up...it's 11:34 here. She just did the "Daddy, read me a story..." and he did, so hopefully she'll :sleep: soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabelen Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 My 5 yo is still awake, in bed... but my brother and parent in-laws just left from our Christmas Eve Dinner party, so it's understandable... still, she is tossing and turning, can't be much longer before she's out, I hope :)!

babysparkler Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Dh is still not home from church yet. He was one of the last staff members to leave tonight after the Candlelight service. We live 35 minutes from the church,he left an hour ago, and the icy roads are slowing him down so much that it looks like it will be another half hour before he gets home (2:30am here). I can't sleep with him out on those bad roads, so I am just waiting and praying for his safe arrival home soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaMere Academy Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I had to stay up until 2AM for my kids to be sleeping. However, this is the first year that everyone knows there is no santa and that is SOOOO freeing! But still, how fun is it if you hear mom putting everything out and in the stockings? I love them waking up and seeing everything and having it be a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Rat Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Now I don't feel so bad, our oldest finally crashed at an early 10:30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nono Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Well my two were asleep until I took my Mother up to bed who insisted over and over to suddenly having LOUD conversations even though I kept saying, "Shhh! The kids are right down the hall." (dementia) Then it took 4 attempts after they woke up to get everything wrapped (15 min interruptions for each sobbing cry from one of them). It was way past 2:30 a.m. before I made it to bed. 7 a.m. sure came early. Now, I just had to order my Mom to take a nap, as I need one, and so do the kids, and my husband just needs some down time. (For the record, she's always been a napper, so it isn't like this is something mean to ask her to do). I feel like a toy that's running out of battery life. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 James (10) was still awake when I went to bed at 12:30. He's a night owl but has to stay in his room once prayers are said and I leave after reading. I snuck the gifts out to the living room, put the stuff in the stockings, munched the cookies. When hubby came to bed an hour later, kiddo still awake. He tried the old "can I come out and kiss you again routine" so he could see what we were watching. We told him no since watching Harry Potter. He's not allowed to see it yet. I had to wake him up this morning to see what Santa left under the tree.
