This year the kids went to bed at about 8pm on Christmas Eve. Mr. Man and Noodle went to sleep super-fast. Princess stayed up for a long time- about 10pm. Before Mr. D and I hit the sack at midnight we said we were set up pretty well for the morning- Mr. Man and Noodle rarely wake up before 7 or 7:30 and Princess will be so tired from staying up late that we didn't need to worry about them waking up before us and going out to the tree.
Boy, were we wrong.
At 3:30am we heard Mr. Man running down the hall yelling "Santa got here, Santa got here!" He proceeded to wake up Princess, shaking her awake and yelling "Santa got here, he left presents!" That, of course, woke up Noodle as well.
So, there we were ALL awake at 3:30 in the morning. Needless to say, Mr. D and I were absolutely NOT getting up at that hour. So we spent the next hour helping everyone go back to sleep....
We ended up waking up around 7 or 7:30. What a night!
