ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful Christmas friend!!
Heart you!
We were lucky this year and got to sleep in because we had to wait for family to get home from a night shift
ReplyDeleteI woke up at 7:20AM but our little E didn't wake up until 7:50A :-) Merry Christmas!!

My kids woke up at 7:00 am. Pretty usual at our house. We had to remind them that it was Christmas, but when we did, they were so excited!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.
Our littles woke us up around 7:30, then we had to go wake up the 4 yr old! But, she woke up telling each one of us Merry Christmas :) cutest thing ever!
ReplyDeleteSince we moved to Delaware and our family lives in Alabama, we woke up at 5:30 to make our traditional breakfast quiche and then once our sister woke everyone up in the house in Alabama (she's 23), we opened gifts via Facebook Video Chat. It was our first Christmas away, but it still felt like we were there with them.
ReplyDeleteour kids woke up at 7:00...we listened to them in bed for a few minutes talking about whether it was morning or not and wondering of santa had come : ) merry christmas to you!
ReplyDeleteMy kids got up at 6 and we checked out what Santa brought then everyone went back to bed for a couple of hours :)
ReplyDeleteMine stayed asleep until 8 this morning! Holy craziness! Sadly, today I beat her awake expecting to have to wake up the hubs!
ReplyDeleteWell, I must admit to you that IM usually waking up the girls(6 &8) to run downstairs and open presents. But we were celebrating late last night with great grandparents as is our tradition, so we all got to bed at like 11:45 and slept in this morning until 8am! That in itself was a Christmas present for this teacher who gets up no later than 6am every single day.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas April!
We didnt wake up until 9!! Crazy!! Merry Christmas!:)
ReplyDeleteI acted like the kid this year! I tossed and turned from 3:30 am until I finally threw the covers back at 7:15 am and went downstairs to start the coffee! My five-year-old met me in the hallway, though, so there's no telling how long she had been awake!
ReplyDeleteOurs woke up at 9:30, I know really crazy! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy boys got up at 8 this morning...so not too bad. :) Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI woke up at 6:45 to set things up and get some coffe in me and the kids followed at about 7:15. Not too bad at all!
ReplyDeleteMy kids were up at 7 (their regular time to get up) We had church at 9 though, so we waited to open presents til we got back! They did get to see all the candy in their stockings before church though! Merry Christmas to ya! Esp with the new little ones in your house!
ReplyDeleteWe got to sleep in until 730. A true gift from our two and a half year old. :)
ReplyDelete1st...I must say-I LOVE reading your blog! I'm a new follower. My BFF just got me one of your necklaces for Christmas:)
ReplyDeleteToday our kiddos woke up around 730 and all presents were open and out by 8! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

ReplyDeleteours came in and jumped on our bed at 6:33. for real! way early!
ReplyDelete7:10, I think. I was quite blurry eyed.
ReplyDeleteOur kids got up at 7 and we only made them wait long enough for us to get a cup of coffee! The little one (3) managed to get a few things out of his stocking in the mean time. :)
ReplyDeleteKrista519@aol.com
Our kids were up after 7 but are so good that we go stockings, eat breakfast, and then get ready before opening presents. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI had to set my alarm for 8:45 because I've been sleeping in with now school :) Christmas was fantastic this year!
ReplyDeleteLauren woke up at 6:15 but I told my teenagers they could sleep until 7:30. It was a rough hour for her!
ReplyDeleteI had to wake,y kiddies up! It happens every year! I am more excited than they are.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Kennedys!
My husband and I were up all night with puking twins. Talk about worst Christmas ever! I spent the entire day doing puke laundry. I think winning the grab bag would be a great way to end my Christmas nightmare! :)
ReplyDeleteMy littlest woke up at 5:30. We are visiting family and far away from our time zone, so we are a bit off. :) I was just grateful it wasn't 4 like it was the morning before.
ReplyDeleteWe had to wake Kate up at 8:30- but she begged to go back to bed! She finally rolled out of the sack after 9:00.
ReplyDeleteThis is Stephanie! The previous comment is mine, I didn't realize Jimmy was still signed into his account... I am a fiend, but not for anything video games!
ReplyDeleteI woke up a little before 6 and our oldest wanted to get up but I made her stay in her room until the middle got up at 6:30. Then we nicely and slowly woke up the baby so they could come out together. Great morning! Happy Holidays!
ReplyDelete7am. Not too bad!
ReplyDeleteMym oldest woke up at 5:50, but we made her wait until 7:00 to wake up her younger sisters. I hope you had a Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWe woke up at 6:30am wide awake after going to bed around 9:00. It's out last Christmas without kids so I guess we should have slept in but we just couldn't. So excited about this giveaway!
ReplyDelete6:15am! Not too bad actually!
ReplyDeleteno kids yet, so we slept in a bit and got up at 9ish! lovely!
ReplyDeleteNo kids yet but I'm staying with my husband's family this year - our nephew is only 2 and he let us sleep in until 8!!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy 2.5 yr old woke us up at 6am - which is the same time he wakes us up EVERY day unfortunately! We convinced him to crawl in bed with us for about half an hour but he spent the whole time asking if Santa was here, so we gave in and finally let him wake his siblings up :)
ReplyDeleteMy kids slept until 8 am! It was perfect!
ReplyDeleteChristina
We woke up at 7:30 - not too early, not too late!
ReplyDeletemy 6 year old was up at 5:30AM and we had to wake up my 4yo at 6:30AM!!
ReplyDeletemy girls woke us up at 7:00 almost exactly. I had to remind them that Santa came because it wasnt any earlier than other days of the week.
ReplyDeletewe were able to sleep in until 7:30 and they graciously walked the dog and started the coffee before ripping into the presents.
ReplyDeleteMy one-year-old was up a little before 7, then the other 2 followed shortly after
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your family!!! Our kiddos {3 boys} woke up at about 7:30, not too shabby. Our middle woke up to a full sized adult drum set and hasn't stopped playing it. It has been a wonderful weekend full of family, friends, and happy little kiddo faces.
ReplyDeletethanks for the giveaway!!!
In our family, we woke up at 8, but didn't get started with festivities until nearly 9:30.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!

ReplyDeleteWe had to be responsible and wake up at 6:30 so that we had time for all 8 ppl in the house to open presents, cook breakfast and get ready for church! It was chaos!!

So glad your cute little family had a wonderful Christmas!
I got up at 6:30 and the nieces slept until 7:30. The grown ups were waiting for the kids ... if you can believe that.

ReplyDeleteOur daughter was up around 6:45, but our sweet baby boy slept in until about 7:30. We had church at 9, so it was quite the mad dash after presents were opened to get there! I hope you had a lovely Christmas as well!
ReplyDeleteOur kids were both up by 7:30, but patiently waited until we could drag ourselves out of bed at 8. Glad to hear you all had a Merry Christmas, April!
ReplyDeleteI'm single and church was at 11:30am so I set my alarm for 10:00am. Nice...
ReplyDeleteLove all the possible lovely's that could be in a grab bag from you! Our girls had to be woken up by us..at almost 9! I'm sure this is the last Christmas that will ever happen!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, April! Our kids slept in! They are 17 and 14:) We went to Sacrament then came back and opened everything around 1130.
ReplyDeleteWould LOVE a grab bag!!

My son woke up at 6:30 (his usual wake up time), but he went back into his room. We left the Christmas tree lights on over night and he was worried Santa hadn't come yet since it was still dark out and the tree was on. Poor guy! We all were up at around 7. :)
